Théâtre - L'ART DE PERDRE

8:30PM - THE ART OF LOSING
How do you bring a country out of silence?

Naïma is working in an art gallery in Paris when the terrorist attacks strike like an electric shock: they send her back to her dark skin, her curly hair, her origins, the silence of her father, and the shame of her Harki grandfather. Through Naïma's relationship with her grandmother, the guardian of the temple, she pieces together the puzzle of her family and questions her roots in order to rebuild herself! One family anecdote follows another, not without a sense of humor, helping Naïma to find peace of mind.

Based on L'Art de perdre, a novel published by Éditions Flammarion, winner of the Prix Goncourt des lycéens.
