CHLRDCN

When her uncle Josuah dies, Zoé returns to Guadeloupe to support her family. She discovers that her grandmother, Lyne, poisoned herself by working all her life in banana plantations treated with chlordecone. Despite its proven toxicity, France has long continued to authorize this pesticide, contaminating the entire population of the West Indies.
In this ecological thriller, which explores the roots of this health scandal across time and continents, real people and fictional characters cross paths with humor and poetry. A family saga as much as a political text, documentary theater as much as play material, Béatrice Bienville's play is resolutely decolonial.
