Garçon
A man stands face to face with an investigator. His son has disappeared. So is his sister, to whom he had entrusted him a few months earlier. The man says little. He makes lots of excuses. He's not responsible for anything. Especially not for the young man's condition. Parallel to this exchange, backwards, we discover the last months of the young man's life. His arrival in the countryside, placed there by a father who can no longer manage his family responsibilities. His first steps in a new school. The discovery of a life so different from his own. Motorcycles. Long weekends outdoors. Hunting. Work, too, just around the corner. Gangs and solitude mingled.
Garçon questions the way in which we construct ourselves as boys in the midst of others. How are filiations thwarted when bonds are damaged? How does one build a relationship with the Other? Trust. Talking. Awareness of one's own interiority.
The play sketches out the chaotic paths of a masculinity in search of itself, between virilist expectations, risk-taking and gender hijacking.
