Mère morte

On October 24 and 25, the Théâtre du Dé presents “Mère morte.”

Jeanne goes to the body of Marthe, her mother, who has just taken her own life. So much denial of suffering… And a love that, instead of protecting the child, lent a helping hand and turned a blind eye to the perpetuation of the crime?
There is no escape from Jeanne’s pain; she goes so far as to make her mother the designated culprit toward whom the inexhaustible weight of bitterness converges—the impossibility of maternal love, rejected and inverted.

Lucile Bertin’s writing is uncompromising, a powerful art of reality where revelations, torments, and abysses rise to the surface. And then there is another time, the past—the time of the confrontation, in Jeanne’s life, some fifteen years earlier. Marthe, the mother, reveals that she is going to give the family home to Louis, the man she loves. An ultimate betrayal to which Jeanne responds by announcing that the monster will be publicly confronted with what he has done—and what he tried to inflict on his little girl. For she knows that the lie, once exposed, will be the liar’s undoing…
