After the show
Discussion after each performance
What you need to know
- Frank about incest, so read up first and decide whether your kid is ready
- Many themes at once: patriarchy, predation, gender and deforestation all come up, which gives plenty to discuss
- An honest mixed review: Paris Mômes calls it necessary with committed actors, but says it sometimes tries to tick every box
About
A modern retelling of Perrault's Donkey Skin. In a picture-perfect family the polish cracks: Mom walks out, Dad imposes "nap games," and the girl has nightmares. A neighbor keeps watch, and Monique Bergamote, her donkey comfort toy and piggy bank, comes alive to save her. Writer Marie Dilasser and director Hélène Soulié tackle incest head-on. Best for tweens and teens ready to talk it through afterward.
