Synopsis

In 1986, Jean Rouch decided to bring to the screen a play by Julius Amédée Laou which had just been staged at the Daniel Mesguich theater.

In the Rouch's film, the action takes place in the setting of Sainte-Anne hospital. Psychiatrist Charcot takes his colleagues to the presentation of a “spectacular case”. This (re)presentation that psychiatrists and spectators share is the delirious dialogue that begins between an old West Indian woman interned at Sainte-Anne for fifty years, and a young Martinican caregiver who recently arrived in Paris.

“ORDINARY MADNESS OF A DAUGHTER OF HAM ” is a play by Julius Amédée Laou, a retrospective of his cinematographic creations is currently taking place in different cities in the USA.

The play was created at the Théatre de la Bastille in Paris under the care of Jean-Claude Fall in a production by DANIEL MESGUICH then was recreated at the TGP, finally at the "Théatre de la Métaphore" in Lille before touring to all the centers dramas from France as well as in Martinique and Guadeloupe.

The film by Jean Rouch and Philippe Costantini is the subject of numerous prestigious presentations in the auditorium of the "Musée de l'Homme", at the Scam, at the Center Pompidou, at the Immigration Museum, at the Berlin festival, at the French Cinematheque
