Confession Publique

An examination of nobility and elegance in the ways we acknowledge our shortcomings, flaws, and manufacturing defects.

An autobiographical solo by Mélanie Demers, with Angélique Willkie as its muse, Confession Publique takes on themes of privacy and secrecy, delving into the marshy depths of the psyche in a revolt against the vulgar self-exposure that bombards us every day. Seeking confession as a poetic gesture, necessity, and small concession to our vanity, the work is an intimate dive into self-interrogation. Introspection has no choice but to come face-to-face with its inevitable opponent—confession.
