Both an intimate journey and a police investigation, Entre parenthèses portrays the struggle of a woman who was raped as a child. From the emergence of a traumatic memory to the sketching of a collective fight, the play campaigns for a liberation of listening.
A call from the juvenile brigade about a sexual assault she suffered 30 years ago propels Alma onto the long road to awareness. Within a stage setup that conveys both a mental landscape in the midst of recomposition and a meticulous police investigation, Entre parenthèses tells the story of a child who lacks the words and of a woman who will find them, helped by a psychiatrist transforming the care of victims. For Alma is not alone: it is also the story of 72 little girls who filed complaints, of 19 women who testify in the assize court, of their words finally heard.
