Nos plats aigres irritent vos palais is a radio play that brings together different insurgent voices. Some I wrote and some I listen to.

The title of the play « Nos plats aigres irritent vos palais » (our sour dishes irritate your palates) is a phrase taken from the French version of Bertolt Brecht’s play « Antigone ». This line, in its french translation, has a double meaning of the word « palais » which means both « der Gaumen, the palate » and « der Palast, the palace ». This double layer embodies the will of this piece to create stories that can both irritate the palate and the palace of the privileged ones.

The voices of the radio play have that in common that they challenge the system/cis-tem with words. Each of the voices tells stories that reclaim subjectivities different from the one inseminated by patriarchist and colonialist conceptions and other oppressive capitalist rules. Subjectivities who try to not rise above one and others, but connect and join to change the hegemonic euro-centric History into narratives that help us to build another meaning of being together on this planet.
