Theater Quad, Questions of Theater: “Flame”

About the festival

The twins Jeanne and Simon fall into great confusion when they read the will of their mother Nawal, who maintained only silence for the past five years before passing away. The will asks them to find the father they believed dead and a brother whose existence they never knew, and to deliver the letters she left. It also contains her request to be buried without a coffin or gravestone. The siblings set out following their mother's traces and gradually come closer to her veiled past. And at the end of that past, the siblings face a shocking truth about their mother's silence.
