« Dans ma voix, d’autres voix » (“In my voice, other voices”)
What is a voice? In the first definition that one finds, it is a question of sound, air, and vibrating vocal chords. But for No Anger, that doesn’t work. Their body short-circuits everything. For a long time, they were ashamed. Their voice seemed to them like the groan of a monster, something to be hidden. However, other voices and other kinds of speech came, all of them experiences to appropriate. This is the story recounted by this feature-length film.
«Glowing No».
directed by Beth B and featuring No Anger, tells a universal story of love and parting.
Surveying the world of poet, dancer and anti-ableist activist No Anger, the film shines a light on their body language, their sophisticated poetry of desire and love. In dreamlike cinematography with gripping images focusing on No Anger, we are invited to appreciate the intensity of their self-awareness. Behind No Anger’s corporeality and poetry, the following question arises: what does it mean to “be disabled”? As a person, as an artist, they have developed their identity by conquering their own narrative.
“You, my love, unsteady but happy, can I still think of you? I feel that hint of expectation, that relic of hope that I could never erase. Like the shadow of a memory that glides alongside me, moulding to the convolutions of time. You are always there, during my dances, like that day when, leaping onto the stage, I saw you, in the audience. You were looking at me, smiling, and a wave of pride flowed through me. But I exist, even without you.” No Anger
