True love song, this intimate monologue by JR Lemoine is dedicated to his mother tragically departed in a far away land plagued by chaos. Through such personal need lies the violence of the world. More than two decades after its production, the author leaves direction to Guy Cassiers, a major figure of European theatre. 

Private exile, geographical exile, the son tells at last to his mother what he never dared to tell. Through poetry, he tries to fix reality, to transfigure it. Thanks to his meeting with Guy Cassiers, his word becomes all the more universal. Through a deep echo with Haiti’s chaotic history, former French colony whose political crises are willingly kept quiet.
