Compagnie Cecilia - Testament

Three top actors expose the dynamics within a family with a laugh and a tear. tragicomic – virtuoso – compelling – moving A sister and two brothers come together in the house where their father lies dying. While they keep watch, they take stock of their hectic lives. Briefly escaped from the delusion of the day, the carefree togetherness of their youth shimmers through once again. But what remains of what they shared with each other as children? Testament is a performance about unconditional family ties and inevitable fault lines, about the dynamics of families and about what we leave to each other – intentionally or unintentionally. Because an inheritance is more than money.
