This Child is an exploration of feelings, from the noblest to the most shameful, that bind parents and children together. The play, remarkable in its intensity, stages various family confrontations revealing all the complexity of family ties, in a language that combines simplicity and truth. Scenes of blame and reproach, of passion and  awkwardness, alternate with others portraying an intense longing for happiness. This Child was the most talked-about play in France in 2006.
