Two
women, two generations. Mother and daughter at first glance. But she's
her maidservant, her “adopted” daughter rescued from genocide.
In a war-torn country where danger lurks on every corner, the dialogue between
the mistress of the house and her maidservant explores all the intensity and
subtlety of this master/slave relationship, this impassioned and ambiguous bond
of codependency in which each woman is victim and oppressor in turn. José Pliya's
language is dense, poetic, scathing and refined. It paints a penetrating, but
deliberately nonjudgmental picture of the gaping trap of gratitude, frustrated
rebellion and desire, the contradictory impulses and tangled secrets of love
and hate that unite the two women.
兩名女子，兩個不同年代。
驟看似兩母女。但她是她的女僕，是她從大屠殺中救回來的 “ 養 ” 女。
在一個被戰火蹂躪的國家中處處都隱藏 ? 危險，從那個女主人和她的女僕之間的談話來探討主人 / 奴僕間微妙緊張的關係間，這種互相依賴的關係既親切又曖昧，在當中的兩人既是受壓迫者也是壓迫者。作者
José Plyia 的戲劇語言言簡意賅兼且極具詩意，既嚴厲又文雅。它尖銳但卻不帶批判意味地把兩名女性被感恩圖報的心理伽鎖所困鎖，更因為反叛的意念和慾望不能舒發，加上行為矛盾以及私底下的愛恨糾纏而被迫生活在一起。
