Batecs

What do we do with the idea of, and hope and desire for this being?

Recorded statistics indicate that one in four pregnancies does not reach full term. This tells us that we are all directly or indirectly affected by a pain that, today, has no name, no space, no time. It is confined to the silence of the intimacy of our body.

The play is a sound box of the beats that used to be to create a luminous rhythm that cradles us and accompanies us in this silenced mourning.

Perinatal bereavement
It had been a day since he died and her belly was a coffin.
In the operating theatre, no comfort.
“It’s gone neat and clean!”
She is silent and feels longings: she had never been dirty.
