My feelings: the title of this one-woman-show challenges by its mischievous sobriety, a mixture of naivety and biting irony that characterizes the verve of Virginie Fortin. In December 2018, the Quebecer took to the stage of the Auditorium Stravinski to deliver what remains undoubtedly the most controversial performance of the 29th edition of the festival. Outrageously parodic, rubbing Godwin’s point to breaking point, his skit Feminazi divides the French-speaking public, taken aback by the abrasive character they discover, vociferating sarcasm with the singsong accent of Quebec.
For Virginie Fortin, laughter is a defense mechanism
