In 1740, a trial was held in New France. Marguerite Duplessis, a native woman, bought and then sold, was obliged to embark for Martinique. She refused and demanded her freedom. In a space resembling a ship’s hold, four performers take turns slipping into the skin of this Quebec native forced to leave the land of her ancestors. Slammed, sung, and shouted, the words resound like a pop litany of feminist and decolonial struggles, past and present.
