LA MAISON VIDE
Brigitte Baillieux
19h
Jeanne is moving out, packing her boxes, and will eventually pack herself up as well. She has three months to leave the house she has lived in for thirty years. She is a tenant, not an owner. In any case, ever since her only daughter, Eve-Lin, struck down by heartbreak, left home without giving any news, Jeanne has begun to lean.
But Jeanne is never alone because, for many years now, she has made Louise Bourgeois her imaginary friend.
A performance about maternal love, about women who dream of a future of equality, about social condition, and about art as a force of repair and emancipation.
Born from a friendship and a shared love of words, this play weaves together the portrait of Jeanne, a modest mother, and Louise Bourgeois, a major artist. Two women who seem to have nothing in common, yet are connected through creation, motherhood, and the desire to tell their own stories.
