Original
Résumé The play begins with an interrogation of a 35 year old woman journalist, accused of murdering her mother, refuses to
confess. The police investigator listens as she weaves a long intricate tale of her family history.
Finally, he gets her to admit that she gave her mother a fatal hypodermic injection. But it was an act of love, a case of euthanasia. A play that explores the sometimes fine line between love and hate, between resentment and reconciliation. Extrait « HER : I often sleep in the clothes that have spent the day with me. I find that reassuring. / HIM : But a diving suit is a cumbersome piece of clothing. / HER : Some things are much cumbersome than a diving suit. / HIM : Like what? / HER : Emotions, for instance. » |
