What is done in your name

I did this improv yesterday after reading an atrocious first-hand account of a man who survived severe torture during the French Algerian War. That, combined with a little Facebook stalking which led me to find a slap in the face, left my body uneasy and restless. The perfect state to dance in and take out all my visceral emotions on. And so, here you have it. Both Henri Alleg's and my own torture, through my moving words.

I'm looking both at the text and the photo on the computer screen, just to clarify, because they were there and it seemed right to focus on them.
