The Sister of Jesus Christ

Description

Maria grabs a Smith & Wesson, leaves her house, and walks towards her destiny. As she advances, the village forms a procession. The football team, then the construction workers, the teacher, the motorcyclists, the hunting club: all walk behind her. But what inner shift, what vertigo pushes a young woman to cross the point of no return? Oscar de Summa composes a story with cinematic tension, a quest for justice that tracks the precise moment when one decides to no longer endure. A single-shot sequence during which Félix Vannoorenberghe creates a gallery of characters with disturbing precision, never losing a magnetic, almost raw presence that captures attention from start to finish. To the sound of Florence Sauveur's cello, the play unfolds a fable where traditions weigh heavily. Winner of the 2023 Maeterlinck Prize for Best Scenography, this creation seals the moment when disobedience becomes a necessity, in an epic momentum with continuous tension.
