"Autotherape is a choreography that is both painful and redemptive."
"Master of his body, Mackenzy Bergile unfolds a choreographic language of remarkable precision."
Critical abstract
Published during Festival TransAmériques, this review presents Autotherapy as a performance that profoundly transforms both performer and audience. Rather than emphasizing virtuosity alone, the article highlights Mackenzy Bergile's ability to translate personal history, colonial legacies, and Afro-diasporic memory into a precise choreographic language. Bergile's body is described as an archive in motion, where technical mastery serves emotional and historical resonance. The review ultimately frames Autotherapy as an act of repair, in which movement becomes a means of confronting inherited violence while opening a space for collective remembrance and transformation.
