Histoires de familles

Saturday, September 5 – 11:00 a.m.

The family—that strange laboratory where wounds and safe havens are created in equal measure.

There, we inherit old ghosts, stubborn quirks, and well-ordered silences, but also, very often, a great deal of tenderness and an astonishing ability to reinvent everyday life. The characters in this selection move at a child’s eye level or with their feet planted in chaos, armed with imagination, stubbornness, and an enduring gentleness.

Because we don’t always choose what we carry, but we can choose how to carry it—and sometimes, to not carry it alone.
