Je voulais juste que l’on me touche is a work about listening, sex and violence.
It’s a radio documentary featuring the voices of 8 women and non-binary people, aged 22 to 82, from a variety of socio-cultural backgrounds, all living in Belgium.
We hear them recount how desire and sexuality have been constructed over the course of their lives, each with their own specific issues, and how this construction has impacted on their ability to be aware of their sensations, and to be able to say no. Or not. Or not. And how their no’s have been heard, or not.
