Corpus Machin (A Story of My Weight, Body Shape, etc.)

Dunkerque

Three years ago, Pascal Reverte was the victim of a fatphobic attack. A despicable “Move it, fat pig”—thrown at him for no reason by four guys. This insult, hatefully commonplace, was deeply devastating to him personally and marked the beginning of the writing process for this show. *Corpus Machin* is a masked monologue, a stand-up routine, a gentle voice amidst a loud cry of anger.
