Miroir d'un naufragé

Through language blending tragedy, derision and poetry, "Miroir d'un naufragé" questions the invisible wounds of childhood, the contradictions inhabiting each of us, and the difficulty of recognising oneself in one's own reflection.

Three beings, all named Blaise, are locked in an indefinite, enclosed space outside of time. This space, both concrete and abstract, might well be the mirror of their own psyche — an inner theatre where the tensions, contradictions and aspirations of a single being play out. As their dialogue unfolds, three fundamental dimensions of the inner world emerge. They relentlessly question one another, cohabit, and contradict each other. These three Blaises are the fragments of a child grown into an adult, caught in the echo of his own psychological development. Together, they outline the contours of an inner quest, a fragile attempt to recompose a lost unity. An event disrupts this precarious balance: the arrival of a cockroach. Its enigmatic, mocking arrival gives rise to the hope of a revelation. In this tense, silent expectation, the three Blaises project their fears, their hopes and their fantasies onto it.
