PRINCESS OF FRANCE, The blue blood Nun

DAUGHTER OF FRANCE The blue blood Nun

Louise-Marie, Princess of France known as the Mauresse of Morêt

Play written by Shana de Carsignac Mongwanga-Eloko

LOUISE-MARIE:

Today they come to paint me. Me. Yes, me.

Future nun in this convent of Morêt where there are no nobles other than me. Yes. Me.

Otherwise why would someone come to paint my portrait? Immortalise me? For history, perhaps?

Me who is supposedly nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, there are very extraordinary things that we would like to pass off as ordinary. And there are mysteries that you quickly solve yourself before death strikes and time makes its way into the memory of men and that of the History of France.
