In Parle à mon cul, ma tête est malade, Vivien, Olivier, and Emeric come together to tell the story of a shared journey, long experienced in solitude: that of discovering oneself as a gay man. With humor and tenderness, they lend their voices to the words of others and weave together a tapestry of testimonial narratives. Fragments of life that question the injunctions of masculinity; anecdotes that explore the uncertainty of first encounters — with others as well as with oneself.
The piece gently reveals what has been learned to be hidden, offering a docu-fiction that tenderly celebrates the freedom to be oneself.
