In the literature of exile, the death of the mother always arouses a symbolic return to the native country. A last visit to childhood that goes away as the link comes undone without being able to tighten it. With his own magic, which is nothing ordinary, Kossi Efoui makes this passage an explosion of colors and sounds. He has the elegance to adorn a story of sound and fury with pure beauty, offering this woman a shimmering fabric of words. The news of his hospitalization overwhelms him with excitement at the Festival d’Avignon. This literally vertiginous exposition scene shows which playwright Kossi Efoui is. We are carried away in a change of time, a loss of contact with reality, “the impression of being nailed to the spot and of pitching”, brought back with him “in a burnt region” of his past.
