LE TOIT DU MONDE

Paris, 1945. Henry Vernot, a member of the Resistance, is searching for his brother, Antoine, a collaborator who has disappeared without a trace. The only way to find him is to get hold of a painting – or rather, what lies inside it… A victim of a past Henry would rather forget, the search for his brother will unearth a shameful truth he would have preferred to keep secret…

Brilliantly performed by two actors who bring several characters to life, *LE TOIT DU MONDE* is a family drama full of twists and suspense
that explores memory, family wounds and individual choices in times of war – whether to resist or collaborate in the face of the occupying forces. It highlights the invisible scars that history leaves on people, the silences we choose to keep, and the truths we do not wish to face.

Enhanced by ingenious set design and fluid direction, this intelligent, moving and socially conscious piece of theatre—where the personal meets the political, and emotion springs from simplicity and sincerity—is deeply moving. Not to be missed!
