One of the reasons for the play’s success is its sensitive, realistic treatment of the real issues shaking society today. It illustrates the meeting between the mother of an 11-year-old boy and his teacher. The atmosphere is tense; the first wants to know what drove her son to take his own life, the second, shaken and confused, is slow to enlighten her. Despite clashing visions and gnawing guilt, the two women work together to retrace the events and try to understand. What was the source of this child’s distress? Was he a victim or an executioner? Their verbal jousting, raw and cruel, is both epic and surprising.

In this closed-door play, author Johnna Adams questions the boundaries of freedom of expression. The playwright also examines the delicate relationship that can exist between parents and teachers. Translated from the American by Maryse Warda and directed by Guillermina Kerwin.
