Post Mortem

Jasmina Douieb

In her intimate and restorative new work, which will premiered at Le Varia in partnership with Théâtre Les Tanneurs, Jasmina Douieb, facing us alone, fills the stage with strangely familiar voices and unknown ghosts whose presence we can feel. Drawing on the audio interviews she has collected, she reinterprets the words gleaned from her investigation, or sometimes simply lets us hear them in their original truth. She transcends the limits of documentary performance and gradually weaves a sensitive web from which fiction emerges. A host of stories intersect, collide and ultimately touch our hearts. The dead reunite with the living, picking up where they left off.

Creation: 2023

Post mortem (…) is a real gem. On such a delicate subject (…), she has managed to find the right words, to say them with a truth that touches every spectator and in a beautifully inventive staging. (…) A restorative and very gentle show about the blurred boundary between the living and the dead.
Guy Duplat – La Libre

With Post Mortem, Jasmina Douieb delivers a little jewel, full of sensitivity but without the slightest hint of sentimentality, with humour constantly interwoven into both the subject matter and the form. (…) She succeeds in the prodigious feat of getting it right on every level, making Post Mortem one of the most touching, funny and universal shows of the moment.
Jean-Marie Wynant – Le Soir
