Peeping Tom

Moeder, the second volume of a trilogy that began with Vader (2014) and will close with Kinderen (2018), is a work on memory that explores the ways in which the fabric of a life is a mosaic or meshwork collectively composed. It approaches the storehouse of memory – the events whose combination and progression define who we are – not as a museum of the self, but as a laboratory whose technicians can seem like archaeologists digging into the past, or like witnesses being questioned in an open investigation whose details remain unknown to them, and to us, or like the actors of a play.

Peeping Tom explores its theme and central figure, memory and the mother, with the same tender and sardonic eye that runs through all of its productions. Moeder is at once funny and eerie; disturbing, yet strangely familiar: we recognize in it the same fascination with the sense that the world is too much for us, the same amused gaze at our faltering attempts to make it fit our notions. Not surprisingly, the players’ attempts to construct the figure of the mother and their own
interiority results, simultaneously, in their deconstruction. Moeder is directed by Gabriela Carrizo, with Franck Chartier as dramaturgical and artistic assistant, thus inverting their collaboration in Vader.
