    Play - Andre's Mother Lie Presentation

    Uploaded by

    Izzati Aqillah Roslan
    Andre's mother is silent and unreadable throughout the play as she comes to terms with learning that her son was gay upon his death. While she doesn't speak, her actions show her internal conflict in grieving the loss of her son and coming to accept this new information about him. In the end, she is alone, defeated, and releases a white balloon representing letting go of her last earthly tie to Andre's soul.
