Have you ever felt like rolling on the floor in distress after a heartbreak?

Yeah? Then you'll get along just fine with Crâmée.

Crâmée falls in love like some people play the lottery – maybe this time she'll finally hit the jackpot! And it’s not her latest breakup that’s going to stop her from trying her luck. With her elbow propped on the lid of her trash-can-bar-counter, Crâmée spills her romantic misadventures with a near-exhibitionist candor, and every memory, steeped in mediocrity, comes rushing back with intensity. Cigarette in hand, she’s a flirt down to her fingertips: got a light? Because she still believes in that spark. She believes in it so much that she could even find Love in a puff of smoke. Kind of like Edith Piaf, or Adele, or Céline... they know a thing or two about heartbreak too.

​

Crâmée is the "clown-diva in a trash can," the mouthpiece for the blunt honesty, flexibility, and glorious absurdity of Sophie Ammann, a cis-hetero woman figuring out how to subvert the quest for love assigned to her.

Crâmée is an authentic (and sometimes pathetic) offering, made of "dances of distress," a bit like the "dying swan" but... from afar. Very, very far: somewhere between virtuosity and pathos, where delight and pain intermingle.
