The event is over
Since 2015 Émilie Rousset and Louise Hémon have created a series of films and plays that play with the rules of theatre and documentary film. Starting out from the archive or the investigation, they use humour as they explore the gap between the original document and its representation.

With : Laurent Poitrenaux and Emmanuelle Lafon

In flashy trainers and an iridescent down jacket, Suzanne is a trendy grandmother. However, digital tablets, emails to girlfriends and bitcoins cannot conceal the loss of her husband, Édouard. She continues to speak with him, her apartment is full of photos of them. In this weird mausoleum, a stand-in for Édouard slips between Suzanne and the ghost.
