Spectacle : La soeur de Jésus-Christ

A village in southern Italy. Maria, a young woman whose brother resembles Christ so closely that he plays the role of Christ on Good Friday, grabs a gun from the kitchen cabinet. She goes outside, gun in hand, and heads to Angelo the Idiot’s house—the young man who assaulted her the day before. The townspeople— the president of the hunting club, the employees at the junkyard, the mechanic, the bikers, the old schoolteacher, the neighbors—follow in her footsteps, forming a motley procession.%A0

*The Sister of Jesus Christ* is a modern Western shot in a single long take, a fable addressing the issue of patriarchal violence against women. Along with *Queen Kong* and *Iphigénie à Splott*, two other productions directed by Georges Lini, the play forms an “Antigone trilogy.”%A0

A powerful and unique production, *The Sister of Jesus Christ* was awarded the 2023 Maeterlinck Prize for Best Set Design.
