Benjamin Tholozan recalls learning to erase his southern accent in Parler pointu. Personal storytelling and a gallery of characters examine why some ways of speaking are associated with success and legitimacy. Co-written with Hélène François, who also directs, the play combines linguistic inquiry with comedy and music by Brice Ormain.
Parler Pointu — Hélène François & Benjamin Tholozan
In this theatre piece, Hélène François and Benjamin Tholozan probe how accents shape identity, belonging and ideas of a “good” way of speaking.
