Vader: un huis clos

Laurine Mortha, 9th July

Avec Vader (Père) créé en 2014, Peeping Tom inaugure le premier volet d’une trilogie qui se poursuivra avec Moeder (Mère) et Kinderen (Enfants). Toile surréaliste qui se déroule dans l’univers clos d’une maison de retraite, Vader est un songe équivoque, entre dérision et gravité, où flotte la présence du père.
