Le Complexe de Thénardier José Pliya | | | | War. The Mother takes in Vido who is fleeing from genocide. To make herself useful, Vido becomes a servant girl, a house cleaner, the maid who does everything. One cold winter morning Vido decides to leave. Against all logic and common sense. The Mother, who has a "Thénardier Complex", decides to try and stop her. Whatever it takes... |
| "Two women are talking, the Mother and Vido. But reasoning soon peters out. A disturbing kind of music comes out of their words, turning our senses upside down, bewitching certainties and beliefs. Flabbergasted and stunned, we discover that nothing has been said, played or concluded between the Mother and Vido, her adopted daughter/servant. The language is new, fine, pulsating, shaken by the rhythm of passions. José Pliya, carried away by his characters who refuse to be judged, accompanies them tenderly beyond all morality. Le Complexe de Thénardier is protected from being summed up and analysed by its grace. It is a solitary work that speaks magically about humanity. It is the work of a poet."
