thank you very much I feel that
this evening on the theme of the shift
yes totally autographed because the
offset accumulates
a lot already when I’m in France
I feel resolutely Hong Kongese
while when I’m in my city
natale I am fully French
professionally in a first
time I was in the music
while I was just dreaming about playing on
scene later became a comedian I
wanted at all costs to sing again
and in my everyday life
when someone shows me my card
identity or his marks and masculine I
feel not really concerned as
he says and when someone calls me
ma’am, I do not see why I will deny
the little boy who is in me here is my
life has always been like that a kind of
balanced game between genres and
records without ever belonging to
something and this curious position
that I lived at first as
A fatality
a disability but especially because of the
rejection of society is also that of
men did not think much
because if today at thirty to
forty three years
what is it well preserved I am
say that it’s basically that makes me
well anyway
it’s been forty-three years that I live in
alternating caps like that
maybe at the bottom the shift
it’s not only bad, it’s not
so terrible to be extraordinary in play
questions for you are sincere is this
that you feel fully comfortable
with the standards of the current society
raise your hand if you are rich white
beautiful with left ideas now
a life of the right is devoid of
love handles
[Applause]
[Music]
nobody
no no do not say that you have any
ancestors born outside France has
so that’s not over if you’ve been
Unemployed
and you have ideas
anticapitalist
name of a pipe at 5 euros you have a
balding the issue of the shift we
concerns all because these two rules
used to measure it varies
according to times and cultures
for example at home in Hong Kong
it is unsightful to be tanned
every year at the beginning of
France I see my colleagues
completely charred with fine lines
accentuated Thursday to vote at the top in
west and I also think of my neighbors
South Korean
they are strong they invented a
technique to enlarge the eyes and
rabaud in the jaw yeah except that
in France I have never seen a
any sexual fantasies vis-à-vis
lemurs all nine are
totally subjective
so why coria close
gradually I set myself my
own tears with codes that me
go that puts me in value in paris
I love to tell everyone that I am
before all else Alsatian
and not at all Parisian those who
excuse raymond too kind side
besides I already think of the title of
my next show is titled
offbeat humorist except that in fact it’s
too late I see that all my colleagues
have borrowed this show title
shatterproof artist out of the ordinary
in fact the shift has already become at the
fashion it’s even a great strategy
of marketing you see in my city
native
Hong Kong including the former British colony
when one is Chinese again all the
world was scared and we tried to have
a foreign passport when we have
enough money and everyone
refuses to endorse this identity
Hong Kong who is so
undesirable except that I listened to my
quarter and from my audience I the
claims a basin has touched them
like what we do the shift allows to
highlight something that
forget of course it’s not like
I had the choice to claim a
French identity constantly you me
remember by saying bravo you master
so much our language
no sorry you understand the world
restrained
I realized that I could never
master the molière tongue as a
true french as a pure stump
as we say then as I go
am going to invent my own accent we believe
sometimes I’m German sometimes
Canadian sometimes Quebec sometimes
the child stamp of Jane Birkin
I invented
the chic immigrant’s accent
[Music]
a whole concept of survival how does
does not give me room in the middle of the
room and I too much ego to sit down
on the side I created this place
next to the window like that when we
meant that could happen another
something else
and this approach helped me a lot
in my search for identity
you know when you feel too much
in a play pretend
look at the phone do not know
much at 4 years old already I play at the
doll
and then later around eight nine years old I
found that I had a resemblance in
night with linda evangelista obviously
with time the illusions his party and
I know I’m more like a friend
cambell game I invented myself these
techniques to find me
except that my adolescence was so much
difficult I never managed to
find my community
my group already just a language
English
so I can not share the values
of the Chinese dictatorship and later I
thought to have found a solution I
heard vaguely about
homosexuality
in fact I may be just a young
homosexual man so I went to see
my gay friends except that they made me
understand that I was too much I quote
this nest
it puts a lot of pressure on us
go out on the street with you
look like lova moor sometimes ok I
remain worthy then I heard the
term transsexual transsexuals no
bowl I only like what is natural
I go on my nature and bio holidays
but why are we trying to
any price to belong to a community
is it because I’m here
same hair color that you when
would necessarily share the same
values
when they call me sir I
clings viscerally to my side
feminine and when they call me ma’am
see why I did not know the little
boy who is in me he did not do anything
and if my identity is based on the
shift and if each being was
made up of both genres finished the
shame for a man to shed a tear
and end the embarrassment for a woman
front small down the gap me
given some freedom and peace
indoor
deep down we can be who we want he does not
is not about Korea after the image of a
woman or that of a man but of
find self-reflection
Allard I invite you all to you
rid of this fear of the
difference on the contrary tame the
cultivate there because of a way
unexpected
she could make you sublime
