In this episode of Obsessions, we look at a character we’re supposed to forget. Marie Cardona — the girlfriend, the body, the symbol — in Albert Camus’s The Stranger.

Joëlle Antonia Santiago, a choreographer, performer, and writer based between New York and Paris, refuses to let Marie fade into the background. A Fulbright fellow in residence at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris, Joëlle creates immersive, site-specific work that examines how our bodies carry — and resist — stories, ideologies, and symbols. Her choreography has been presented across major institutions in the U.S. and France. She teaches at NYU Tisch and will continue her studies at the Sorbonne.

In this episode, Joëlle reflects on a year spent dancing with older, ill, or disabled bodies — bodies no longer trying to "preserve youth" but instead embodying time, change, and vulnerability.

She then turns her lens on Marie — a woman who loves a man condemned to die, and yet walks away untouched. What does that say about how we, too, detach from grief, from mortality, from the absurd?
