Thissa d'Avila Bensalah

풍요로운 예술의 전성기 벨 에포크 시대 파리, 평화롭기만 한 이 도시에서 연이어 어린 아이들이 사라진다. 이에 사랑스런 소녀 '딜릴리'와 배달부 소년 '오렐'은 파리 곳곳을 누비며 피카소, 로댕, 모네, 드뷔시, 르누아르, 퀴리부인 등 당대 최고의 아티스트들에게서 힌트를 얻는다.

In a psychiatric hospital, Thissa d'Avila Bensalah, a theater director, works on a theatrical construction inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder's BREMEN FREEDOM in which she involves nine patients under psychiatric care. The play's main role of Geesche is played by Annick. But what does it mean to make a fictional character come to life when that character is so close to one's own experiences ? A number of questions arise concerning the impact of Geesche's story on the intimate and collective life of the actors and actresses involved in the play. Annick, Georges, Jean-Pascal, Jean-Paul, Anne, Nordine, Felix, Stephane and Marie-Pierre question how their real lives overlap with their theatrical roles. These questions eventually develop into a common reflection on how psychiatry, patriarchal violence and social constructions are ultimately interwoven.
