- What does your mother do?
"Me, my mom, she’s playing!"
For a long time, I wanted to believe that I knew my mother.
Well yes it is MY mother.
Besides, I made her a mother, my mother.
When I was four, I went to the theater, I watched the stage and my mother was 80.
I got scared, I ran away. Years later, I understood.
My mother is an actress.
Her job is to play, to transform, to shape-shift.
Now that I’m no longer 4, I wanted to play.
The mother is always there, and the actress is faced with the stage.
In imaginary backstage, facing her infinite reflection, she is visited by her multiple metamorphoses.
"Mom, was that you on the stage?"
- Yes and no
"Tell me more about it!"
