A play about mourning, loss and the relationship with death. Milk – by the Palestinian director Bashar Murkus and Khashabi Ensemble – is a work of  visual theatre focused on the figure of the mother. As Murkus explains: “I imagine that losing a son in Gaza or Paris is not very different in terms of grief for a mother, my goal was neither to quantify nor to draw comparisons. What was important to me was to understand how we deal with loss. In these two years of experimentation with the team, we have addressed the subject in many different ways with the purpose of creating different points of view. We thus came to expand our theme, to give it deeper and more general meaning”. The result is a visual poem based on six women, six mannequins, a man born adult and a sea of milk, all elements that give rise to a reflection on grief, seeking the universal in individual experiences.
