Un saison avec Wajdi Mouawad - Un obus dans le coeur

Wahab is angry. After receiving an urgent call, he rushes to the hospital where his mother is dying. During this winter journey, in the midst of a snowstorm, he confronts his thoughts, his memories, and the trauma of a bloody attack. His mother is going to die, and Wahab tells himself that perhaps he will finally be able to grow up and live. He vents his pent-up rage at her, at the bus driver, and at himself. His childhood, marked by the war in Lebanon, comes flooding back. In front of his mother, after this journey, the enraged boy becomes a man. This monologue, performed by Jean Destrem, explores the complex relationship between a son and his mother—a blend of pain and love—and the search for words to express the inexpressible.
