“THIS CHILD” — Christos Theodoridis

Written in 2006, the play “This Child” dissects with disarming candor the relationships that form within the most intimate and at the same time most fragile social cell: the family. Ten moments of everyday life are enough to reveal the endless conflicts, the deep silences, and the inevitable chaos that dominate among the members of the modern family. Drawing on interviews with working-class women in Normandy and propelled by the political climate of the time, Joël Pommerat delivers a work structured as a raw theatrical montage of moments.

The production attempts to open a dialogue about the future of a society tested by wars, economic crises, and power games, following a past marked by social indifference, the struggle for survival, and the absence of love. It invites us, in the present, to answer the question: What have we done?
