Theater - Family Fragments

Welcome to the patio of this family home, a cozy haven with its paved path, mailbox, and small fish pond. It is here that the fates of Alice, Otto, Marianne, and Jojo intertwine.

Each carries their own scars, aspirations, and secret gardens: Alice reflects our own doubts; Otto questions the passing down of traditions and legacy; Marianne fights for her place as a woman within the household; while Jojo escapes into a utopian and romantic world.

Set to an original, immersive musical score that sets the rhythm for every moment, the play sensitively explores intergenerational relationships, escapism, and the search for self. Amid spontaneous laughter, tenderness, and pure emotion, you’ll be fully immersed in the heart of this household for 1 hour and 30 minutes… a moment suspended in time that leaves you with a warm heart!

What the press is saying:
“Freely inspired by the film ‘The Taste of Tea,’ a poetic and immersive work that succeeds in elevating everyday life through acting direction of rare sincerity.” — Le Billet Culture

The audience is won over:
"It was so touching, as gentle as a cocoon even though the characters were going through tough times. The acting was impressively spot-on. It feels so good!" — Margot
"A blend of many emotions, with reflections as subtle as they are essential. The sets, the music, the lighting… When the curtain falls, you just want to rewind and experience it all over again." — Pauline
"It’s incredible—I’m so moved to have seen this!" — Léo-Paul
