Set in a decaying attic by the sea, this radical reworking of Rachilde’s French Symbolist play traces two people entangled in cycles of violence, care and control. Language fractures between clinical detachment and intimate confession as survival becomes performance. Lucie constructs narratives to contain horror; Paul absorbs and repeats them. Outside, the world remains distant, almost imagined. Blurring tenderness with complicity, the piece interrogates how violence and pain are rationalised, inherited and finally, endured. Visceral and claustrophobic, Madame La Mort stages the moment where care turns dangerous – and escape becomes implausible.
