Hilda

"I want Hilda", says Madame Lemarchand over and over again. As the mother of three children in a middle-class household, this left-wing woman is looking for a model employee to help her in her day-to-day work... But more than that, she wants to educate Hilda and make her her friend. How else could she put up with being served? Soon the hold she has on Hilda is too strong... On the flip side, Hilda is a chilling tale of vampirism in which fantasy, far from distancing reality, cuts to the heart... revealing the tangible horror of the mechanisms of domination that alienate bodies and souls. With a set design that casts the characters in weightlessness on islands of light, and a performance to match, Théâtre en pièces renders this masterful text to perfection.
