O'aro, Ann - Ann O'ara

Ann O'aro loves everything to do with body movement, with rhythm and with the voice. Her powerful writing is impregnated with robust language and linguistic tics: a poetic fulmination about island taboos and strong emotions, sexual violence, incest and love affairs. As in "Kap Kap", one of her songs written in the Creole of her native Isle of Reunion, a raw and excoriating outburst that describes the hold of an incestuous father who embraces the madness and violence of a criminal impulse in all its banal savageryAnd out pours Ann's song, a song that plunges straight into reality and is not afraid of shadows.
