This Child (Cet enfant) by Joël Pommerat is a poignant and intense play that explores the complex and often fraught relationships between parents and children. Through a series of loosely connected vignettes, Pommerat examines themes of love, disappointment, control, and the weight of familial expectations. The play presents raw and emotional encounters between characters—parents struggling with their failures, children seeking approval, and families burdened by unspoken tensions. The dialogue is sharp and minimalistic, creating an atmosphere of unease and realism. Each scene unveils a different facet of parenthood, from overbearing authority to abandonment, from tenderness to resentment. Pommerat’s writing is both poetic and stark, capturing the deep emotional struggles that define human relationships.
