With Rectum Crocodile, Marvin M’toumo, his fashion house and his company Hibiscus Culturiste continue their hybrid, political and romantic work begun with Concours de larmes, their first performance combining fashion show, poetry, dance and performance.
On a tropical island, panthers, mulattoes, devils and coconut palms join forces in a cry of anger and love. On stage, seven performers and many more characters tackle questions of identity, stereotypes and discrimination in a series of sceneries guided by the sound of the determined and clever voice of a not-so-innocent child. Inspired by Caribbean carnivals, bodies, voices and couture costumes make themselves heard and seen, like a dazzling revenge. A decolonial tale, a fashion show or a danced poetry, Rectum Crocodile questions slavery, colonialism, white masculinity and pukes them out.
