Inspired by real interviews, the play "This Child" depicts, in ten independent skits, the depth and complexity of the relationships between parents and children, the unsuspected difficulty they have in talking and understanding each other. A series of tortured, syncopated or violent discussions alternate with monologues that fail to become dialogue. For all the characters, be they tough or fragile, children or adults, the ideal of happiness seems impossible to achieve.
The play won the 2006 award for best French-language creation from the French Critics' Union.
