“Sister, I don’t know what brother” is a detective story resembling a game of Cluedo, where the whole plot takes place behind closed door.
Five sisters, aged from 10 to 75, are beset by a family secret. Even though not all of them are aware of its existence, it is a determining
factor in the life of every one of them. Men, and to put it more precisely, their telling absence, is at the very heart of the secret that both
fascinates the women and poisons their family relations. Sylviane Fortuny and Philippe Dorin set the play in a world inspired by their
experiences in Russia. The well-directed and shrewd performance asks important questions about family ties and transmitting burdens
from one generation to the other. In the world of abandoned princesses and red guards, the five sisters live up to a vision of Russian
women — determined, glitzy and disconcerted at the same time. Nested in each other like matryoshka dolls, the five sisters gradually
reveal their little secrets that are linked to the family secret…
