Norma in Norma[le]: a unique show about incest at the Théâtre du Marais

Every Wednesday at 9pm, the Théâtre du Marais in Paris opens its doors for an evening dedicated to the Norma event [le]. It's a true moment of shared emotion, resilience and poetry, served up by Norma's exceptional performance. The artist, known not only for her remarkable appearance in the poignant documentary Un Silence si Bruyant, but also for her personal journey as a child victim of incest, knows how to touch hearts and shake consciences.

Following the broadcast of the documentary directed by Anastasia Mikova and Emmanuelle Béart, Norma[le] returns in force to the Théâtre du Marais.

Norma's poignant story traces her journey from a childhood marked by incest. Her strength of character and unfailing resilience are a true hymn to life and to the defense of incest victims. By choosing to tell her story on stage, Norma succeeds in conveying a powerful and crucial message: it is essential to dare to speak out, to trust those who testify, because"these words are far too terrible to be invented".

Norma[le] is a call to break taboos and encourage victims to speak out. It's sometimes hard to imagine that such a serious subject can be approached in such a light-hearted and humorous way. Yet that's the strength of this play: a perfect balance between the seriousness of the theme and Norma's life-saving humor.
