Description

This show follows the journey of a fifty-year-old woman who was diagnosed early with Alzheimer's disease and that of her daughter.<div> Performed chorally and musically by three performers – including a pianist – the show unfolds with humor and tenderness as the text progresses.</div><div><br></div><div> When Marie-Pierre, a 50-year-old philosophy professor, is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, her daughter becomes her caregiver. She dedicates herself wholeheartedly to supporting her daughter towards a dignified end of life. Fueled by the mother's passion for song and film—particularly her fascination with the little donkey in Robert Bresson's *Au hasard Balthazar*—the performance is a vibrant plea for the power of memories to connect us to the present. It also affirms the importance of restoring a sense of urgency to vulnerable individuals and to caregiving in our fast-paced society. Following in the footsteps of her first show, "Ceci est mon corps" (This Is My Body), Agathe Charnet continues her demanding yet tender work of theatrical autofiction.</div><div><br></div>
