“Symbolic images are the disguises that repressed values put on to access the threshold of consciousness. When she appeals to the little girl, the dreamer behaves more courageously. That of a little diver who dares to sink into the troubled waters of memory to relive the most painful episodes of childhood. To those who receive the saying, it will not be difficult to ensure the translation. The object of suffering, here, will be offered to him under transparent veils. » Georges Romey, Dictionary of the Symbolism of Dreams.
This is the story of two children. A girl and her brother. She's dreaming. She dreams of depths, of abysses, moreover. She wants to become a diver one day. She is a heroine. At night, it points on the map the destinations accomplished and to come. He is his teammate on the surface, his avatar, the one who prepares the equipment and monitors the vital signs. She is afraid to breathe. And says to himself that underwater, it's easier. That she may be a fish deep down. Because on dry land, she can't breathe. Taking off the scuba and getting out of the water is their quest every night.
This creation has the desire to talk about violence against children, and particularly sexual violence and incest, cradles of domination as Dorothée Dussy's book calls it. Andréa Bescond in Si on parlait tells us that the word child comes from the Latin “Enfans” and means “He who does not speak”. Here, we want them to talk. Here, the starting point is dream and invention. But they are based on a reality, that of the seabed, and are inspired by the vocabulary and techniques of divers.
