Dissection d'une chute de neige

In the exercise of power, being a woman is a crime

Renowned stage director Christophe Rauck presents this theatrical production based on Sara Stridsberg’s novel of the same name about the search for a modern heroine.

Royal Court of Sweden, 1631. In order to accede to the throne, Queen Christina of Sweden, the “King’s Daughter,” must marry an assigned suitor. But she objects. Stubbornly. Lucid and cultured, she refuses to bow to the demands of power and the gender norms imposed by society. A philosopher, a ghostly king, a distant mother, and a lover gravitate around her. Locked in a large transparent box that is both refuge and prison, Christine beats against the glass walls like a caged bird as she struggles to hold onto the reins of her destiny.

In this snow-covered court, will Christine be able to rule alone?
