Géraldine Martineau Brings 'Orso et moi' to Théâtre National de la Colline
At the Théâtre National de la Colline, Géraldine Martineau performs her own text in the play "Orso et moi," a work drawn from personal experience that depicts a mother overwhelmed by an infant and a maternity that begins badly. The staging is by Justine Heynemann, who takes the dramatic piece and turns it into a celebration of life, poised between fairy tale and festive spirit. Martineau, described as a top-level actress, delivers the text with overflowing energy, moving between laughter and tears. The production addresses an experience of motherhood that is rarely admitted openly and frames being a mother as a constant process of learning. The subject is announced as a mother left helpless before her baby. The performance was published on 13/10/2026 at 07:12. A photograph of Géraldine Martineau in "Orso et moi" is credited to Tuong-Vi Nguyenc.
