Families Under the Microscope

As part of the Wars and Peace Normandy season, the Comédie de Caen presents a bold and radical proposal that confronts us head-on with the state of Justice in France and Europe on a pressing societal topic: the family. Through the lens of law and legislation, Émilie Rousset examines the flaws and advancements, the blind spots and victories at a time when the protection of children is a priority and family structures are evolving. In a bi-frontal setup enhanced by a screen, the performers share testimonies gathered from specialized lawyers and affected individuals. The dive is captivating thanks to a rhythmic montage that allows us to penetrate the intricacies of the laws, the intimacy of experiences, and their profoundly political connection. A show that possesses the raw power of a documentary and the gripping suspense of fiction.
