An original adaptation of a contempory novel that defies definition : an installation, performance, exposition and reading. A very intimate experience.

Both witness and actor, the spectator becomes part of the story that is told with a narrated text, a soundscape, painted and projected images and actors. Jeanne Benameur's book Les Demeurées (the Half-wits) tells the very emotional story of La Varienne, the village idiot and her daughter Luce whose encounter with the village teacher will transform all their lives forever.
