Seule en scène – Powerful and powerfulThe Théâtre de Poche review: A show that leaves a lasting impression, and leaves no one indifferent! Émilie Alfieri’s interpretation is remarkable, combining strength and sensitivity in a striking performance. Through three generations, she undergoes an admirable physical metamorphosis in the course of the story, embodying each character with admirable accuracy and meticulous movement. The transmission of trauma is perpetuated from generation to generation, in a cycle of suffering and rejection. The writing is incisive and spellbinding, the staging frighteningly effective and the characters unsettling. An exceptional show that’s a must-see. Devastating! Festival Avignon OffA woman welcomes the child she has just given birth to. It’s a girl, and a disappointment. She was expecting a boy. The story of a mother’s daughter who becomes the mother of a daughter who won’t be a mother presents the issues of intergenerational transmission and the weight of family heritage through three portraits of women as funny and offbeat as they are wry and crazy.
