No wars, no heroes. Here, words are the culprits.

In this original English translation of Jean-Luc Lagarce's 1994 play, five women await the return of 'the little brother' who left many years ago. In a time suspended between two periods of waiting, the homecoming and the awakening, this lyrical tale of split memory narrates the realities and fantasies of a family in mourning.

We invite you into our house, a place where tragedy thrives in the incapacity to convey oneself. On stage, a chorus of five women go round the wheel of time, trying to recollect a collective truth. When words fail, movement compensates. Only too late do they realise that this is a dance of death.
