Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 1432 refers to a specific theatre seat, turning location into character — the fixed point where trauma watches you work.
Jérémy Lopez developed this from his own one-man show about abuse survival; the film blurs which wounds are his, which are Max's, which are performance.
