My Body as a Commodity is a sul­try musi­cal trip that explo­res the boun­da­ries of fic­ti­on. Under high-ener­gy live per­cus­si­on, the­a­tre-maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte explo­res in what sto­ries our bodies are inscri­bed — con­scious­ly or not.

She meets a direc­tor who wants to talk about strong women.
She meets a man who won­ders if he appe­ars in the show.
She meets a sex wor­ker in Berlin and bombs her as her own per­so­nal jesus.

Together with musi­cian Andrew van Ostade, Vandeputte per­forms a mono­lo­gue-on-beats that ques­ti­ons and chal­len­ges the nar­ra­ti­ve about phy­si­cal trauma.
