Description

A creation by Alexis Michalik. Issa, a young Eritrean left for dead in the "jungle" of Calais, has lost his memory. With only his passport as a tangible reminder of his past, he embarks on a long and arduous quest to obtain a residence permit, surrounded by fellow sufferers.<br><br> "Generally speaking, I never want to write about a theme, but rather base my work on a specific idea or situation, which then gives rise to the structure of the show. I wrote this new play in Guadeloupe, alone, after developing its outlines for over a year and doing extensive research. It is not militant or documentary theatre, but a human story, which speaks to everyone."<br> - Alexis Michalik.
