‘Breathtaking.’ Le Monde (France)
LACRIMA Caroline Guiela Nguyen & Théâtre national de Strasbourg
A cinematic thriller exploring the invisible cost of perfection.
FRANCE AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE SEASON
Paris, 2025. A prestigious fashion house receives an important commission – to create the wedding dress for a British royal princess. Beauty, secrecy and power collide in the story of the creation of a dress and the secret that ties it together. From a Parisian haute couture fashion house to an embroidery workshop in Mumbai, to a lace atelier in Alençon, invisible hands labour in silence, stitching threads of ambition, sacrifice and survival. All for a dress that will spend mere minutes in the spotlight. LACRIMA unfolds with the edge-of-your-seat suspense of a bingeworthy series, as renowned French director and filmmaker Caroline Guiela Nguyen pulls back the velvet curtain on the world of haute couture. This is theatre as sharp as a needle – dazzling in its spectacle, unflinching in its humanity, unforgettable in its emotional impact.
