Theater project explores a family's struggles
Une famille pyrénéenne, a theatrical project by Nans Laborde-Jourdàa, explores the lives of an ordinary family through a multidisciplinary and queer aesthetic. The production features performers including Margot Alexandre, Laurence Ibot, Lancelot Cherer, Laurens Saint-Gaudens, and Krisss Mara. Narrative focuses on family challenges
The narrative centers on a mother, a cleaner, who struggles to keep her family afloat while dealing with her son's aimlessness, her daughter's self-imposed isolation, and her grandmother's legal troubles. An upstairs neighbor, working on a medieval tapestry, serves as the narrator of the family's inevitable downfall. Text wins prestigious award
