Blanche has just had her first child. Her evenings are spent listening to her baby cry, and her days, watching her breathe, obsessed by the thought of something happening to her. Refusing to be remembered as a case of parental neglect, she has become a mother and a pale version of her former self. When Charlène, her friend who happens to be terrified of motherhood, penetrates the chaos that has become Blanche’s existence, their certainties falter. Can a friendship survive the birth of a new violence within?
In this abrasive piece, developed through the artistic incubator, Caroline Bélisle explores the entanglements between femininity and guilt. Two women probe the traumas of childhood memories, and the buried impulses that appear, inescapably, after giving birth. As dramatic as it is funny, Liste des enfants dévorés par les loups (List of Children Devoured by the Wolves) depicts the paralyzing anxiety of our times… with bite.
