Portant sur le sport comme articulation de la culture et reflet tronqu\u00e9 de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 patriarcale, la pratique f\u00e9ministe de Caroline St-Laurent engage le corps comme vecteur critique du culte de la performance et terreau fertile \u00e0 partir duquel r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 l\u2019imbrication des multiples syst\u00e8mes d\u2019oppression. Par le truchement de performances exigeant de l\u2019artiste ou de ses collaboratrices (souvent elles-m\u00eames athl\u00e8tes) des efforts soutenus et une diligence presque militaire, l\u2019ancienne gymnaste met en lumi\u00e8re l\u2019assujettissement des corps aux dispositifs \u2013 mat\u00e9riels, discursifs, technologiques, institutionnels \u2013 derri\u00e8re le sport, mais \u00e9galement \u00e0 l\u2019agentivit\u00e9 et \u00e0 l\u2019empouvoirement qu\u2019il permet lorsque les femmes et les personnes marginalis\u00e9es se le r\u00e9approprient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Avec Women Performing ARTS + SPORTS Femmes en performance<\/em>, performance r\u00e9alis\u00e9e en collaboration avec l\u2019artiste et ancienne gymnaste de niveau national Liliane Moussa, St-Laurent fait une fois de plus de l\u2019effort physique un acte de r\u00e9sistance. Pendant pr\u00e8s d\u2019une heure, les artistes ex\u00e9cutent une s\u00e9rie de mouvements athl\u00e9tiques laborieux : jumping jacks, redressements assis, gymnastique acrobatique, etc. Collig\u00e9s depuis plus de trois ans et \u00e9num\u00e9r\u00e9s tour \u00e0 tour, les statistiques et les t\u00e9moignages de femmes athl\u00e8tes qui ponctuent la performance pointent la misogynie rampante de l\u2019univers sportif. Visc\u00e9ralement engag\u00e9es dans l\u2019action (et l\u2019une envers l\u2019autre), St-Laurent et Moussa mettent leur corps \u00e0 rude \u00e9preuve, explorant les violences et les iniquit\u00e9s du sport, leur sueur et leur voix de plus en plus haletante t\u00e9moignant de leur \u00e9puisement. Une prise de parole souvent ext\u00e9nuante dans les performances de St-Laurent qui refl\u00e8te la lassitude des f\u00e9ministes devant l\u2019inertie sociale. Chez l\u2019artiste, la superposition de l\u2019acte sportif et discursif (\u00e9noncer des statistiques, chanter) et la mise en lumi\u00e8re de leur impossible maitrise d\u00e9voilent la nature construite et faillible de l\u2019un comme de l\u2019autre, leur \u00ab\u2009\u00e9chec queer\u2009\u00bb. La question de la vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9, centrale chez St-Laurent, devient ici un levier critique \u2013 voire une posture<\/em> \u00e9pist\u00e9mologique \u2013 pour interroger la notion d\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 en sport, o\u00f9 s\u2019entrecroisent plus qu\u2019ailleurs les cat\u00e9gories hautement arbitraires du genre, de l\u2019\u00e2ge, du poids, de la sant\u00e9, de la race, de l\u2019orientation sexuelle, de la classe, etc. Une impression d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 qui fait l\u2019orgueil du sport institutionnalis\u00e9, lequel refl\u00e8te les syst\u00e8mes d\u2019oppression \u00e9rig\u00e9s et jalousement maintenus par le patriarcat et le capitalisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
