Arrested in April 1936, his father was reported missing. Neither dead nor alive. No trace remains of him. Raised in total symbiosis by a praying mantis mother who makes him live in isolation, only speaks in a low voice and repeats her reproaches towards the father's alleged bad political behavior, the child grows up in a stifling atmosphere: - why does she make him believe in his father's death? - why did she never forward her letters to the child? - why did she tear up her photos? - why does she lock herself in silence? The quest for the father is first and foremost a quest for the truth beyond lies and unsaid. If I was sure my father was dead he would have stopped haunting me. Even though I was certain that he had been tortured until his last breath. But could he disappear without a trace. ? The country was gridded. The police had the right to shoot a fleeing prisoner like him. What an affront for the State not to have found him And yet he disappeared as if the earth had swallowed him up. The author was born in Africa (in Melilla) and has lived in Paris since 1955. Since his adolescence he has not stopped his search and escape from his father. This quest allowed him to always remain alive thanks to his writings, cinema and theater. Soàn's joyfully playful, rebellious and bohemian work is the syndrome of our century of barbed wire and camps: a way of staying on borrowed time
