Théâtre - La Maman du Bourreau – Clémentine Célarié

She loved an angel, he was the devil.
When Gabrielle discovers what a monster her beloved son really is, it's already too late... Beneath the armour of this stern woman, a mother's heart bursts into pieces.
How can she survive the ultimate betrayal? Where can her mother's love lead her?
Faltering, Gabrielle sets off in search of herself. When did she make a mistake? Did she love badly? Or simply loved too much?

Je suis la maman du bourreau, adapted from the novel by David Lelait-Helo (winner of the Prix Claude Chabrol 2022), takes us into the depths of the human soul, where disappointed hopes, betrayed promises and the invincible love of a mother collide.
The dizzying story of a woman whose love and humanity overwhelm us...
