Sans faire de bruit

First metallic noises, then nothing. Silence. One night, Louve Reiniche-Larroche's mother suddenly lost her hearing. From this intimate drama, her daughter creates a sensitive show, somewhere between autofiction and documentary.
In the hushed setting of a living room, she pieces together the puzzle of this family earthquake, summoning grandfather, grandmother, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter one by one. Each character emerges from the sound recordings made by the actress. Through meticulous lip-synchronization, she gives them body and undermines their voices in playback mode. With humor and tenderness, she embodies each of them, from her memory-impaired Papi to her whirling 5-year-old niece. They all evoke Brigitte, the mother figure, before and after the tragedy.
What might her mother's world, now devoid of sound, be like? The hubbub of life - voices, murmurs, laughter - is suddenly replaced by an implacable silence. On stage, hemp cloth covers the furniture, muffling the slightest murmur. From interference to distortion, the show places sound at the heart of the stage set-up. All the better to highlight its absence, its necessity and its essence.
