Ce qui s’est tu: A Theatrical Prayer at Théâtre Ouvert

This intimate play, born from a godson's simple question—"Why do we never say things?"—unfolds as a prayer addressed to him. It weaves memories with dreams, fiction with reality, to confront the destructive silence that follows trauma. The narrative is structured in six chapters, like stations of a reverse via crucis, layering archive, literature, and theatre to rewrite a wound.

Performed at Théâtre Ouvert in Paris's 20th arrondissement, the production explores the mechanics of discouragement and the power of transmission. The gesture is not to seize speech as power over tragedy, but to return it to what has been silenced—what, by remaining unspoken, has ultimately killed. The piece is suitable for ages 14 and up, with accessibility options including sign language interpretation and wheelchair access.
