Résonances (2025)
Created from the testimonies of Brazilian domestic workers who arrived in France in the 2000s accompanying diplomats, this performance establishes a dialogue with the institutional migration organised through the BUMIDOM, through the work of Françoise Ega, a Martinican writer and domestic worker in Marseille in the 1960s. Combining documented accounts, storytelling and music, Résonances celebrates the quiet acts of resistance and the bonds of solidarity that unite these women.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Premiere: Tropiques Atrium – Scène nationale de Martinique (May 2025)

“Blending storytelling and documentary research, with a dramaturgy strongly shaped by the presence of popular music, from Brazil to the former French colonies, the performance brings to life the true stories of Brazilian domestic workers in France, as Yure Romão explains.” (RFI Brasil)
