Coming home from school one evening, Valentina finds a note on the table. It has been written in French by the doctor treating her mother, who – however – does not speak the language. It needs to be translated. Valentina is there, facing her mother, with an unspeakable truth on the tip of her tongue: news that could break her heart and blow up their lives... The truth is either to be imposed or hidden; sought out or stifled. This is the question at the heart of the new creation, a poetic contemporary fable by Caroline Guiela Nguyen.

A delicate and heart-wrenching performance about the weight of a truth that cannot be spoken.
