玻璃动物园

« The scene is memory ». It is populated with a trio of faces: a mother, Amanda and her two children Laura and Tom. Amanda still pictures herself as a great southern lady. Tom provides for his family and rushes to the cinema whenever he gets the chance. Laura spends hours with her spun glass animals… Three solitudes almost behind closed doors, three frailties, three ways to dream of a different life. The plot is simple, elusive like a memory. After Arthur Miller’s A view from the bridge (2015-2016 grand prix of the Syndicat de la critique), Ivo van Hove returns to the Odéon with this founding masterpiece and offers Isabelle Huppert one of the mythical roles of the American repertoire.
