On the occasion of the European Night of Museums, the Memorial offers an exceptional interpretation «The book of my mother» by Albert Cohen by Patrick Timsit this Saturday, May 18, 2024, at 9pm.
For more than 30 years, Patrick Timsit developed the project to interpret this story by Albert Cohen published in 1954.
Season after season, he read, reread, annotated, ruminated this work for which he nurtured a real passion. A work that, as he says, speaks directly to us, the «sons of mothers still alive».
“No son really knows that his mother will die and all the sons get angry and impatient with their mothers, the fools so soon punished.” wrote Albert Cohen in the last pages.
Texts read by Patrick Timsit, actor, accompanied by Nicolas Errera, composer of the original music, Stéfane Goldman, guitar, and SarahJacob, cello.
Free admission, in front of the Shoah Memorial
