Caroline Guiela Nguyen has not seen anything of Mumbai, apart from the city's ultra-secret embroidery workshops. In this episode, she plunges us into the world of the embroiderers, holders of an ancestral know-how and often persecuted for their religion. This experience inspired her to write a new play, Lacrima, in which she explores the links between violence and secrecy.

Hosted by Clémentine Spiler, the first season of Les Infusés consists of 10 episodes of around twenty minutes each. Each month a creator will explain us, through the story of a significant experience abroad, why dialogue between cultures and encounters with others remain essential to create. How to discover other visions of the world, question our own certainties is necessary to nourish a work, change a career and mark a life... this is what will tell you the guests of this podcast of the Institut français in partnership with Radio Nova.
