People of the country

Marc-Antoine Cyr | Sylvie Jobert

When the theater begins to explore the notion of identity in France through the eyes of a young person today, it gives a political and kaleidoscopic fable, like the subject, full of critical acidity but also of funny, tenderness and poetic strength.

Written by a Parisian of Quebec origin, this play with chiseled dialogues is interested in "young people from immigration", and asks essential questions: what is "being at home? "Or" be yourself? The cloth burns between Kevin Kevin, teacher, and his wife Lorie Lory, cop. The first finds "exciting" the diversity of its class, the second no longer feels at home. Playing two pillars of the Republic, this couple becomes the crucible of complex debates around Martin's person

Martin, a stranger who confuses them. In a society in which holders of diversity and activists of assimilation clash, the story manages to follow its route away from the clichés, in a room where all the ingredients of the tale are gathered: the night, the moon, The forest where the pack, the locks, and the cities jungle lurks. Result: an exciting politico-poetic capture of our time!
