SALADE, TOMATE, OIGNONS

A man, a woman, a friend: three voices, but the same story. That of a quest for identity, between blurred heritages and shared solitude. Alone on stage, Jean-Christophe Folly gives body to these three shifting characters, between humor and emotion, to tell what it's like to grow up "here" when you don't really know where you come from.

With a chiseled text, he questions the place we occupy in society, the boxes we're pigeonholed into, the allegiances imposed on us. He speaks of silences, of absent transmissions, of the difficulty of recognizing oneself when we inherit a history we don't know. Salad, tomato, onions shakes up clichés about immigration, masculinity, "home".

We know Jean-Christophe Folly as an actor - La Nuit juste avant les forêts, Bérénice - but now we discover a precise, free and daring author. Here he signs an intimate, vibrant show, a declaration of love to theater as a space for transformation, resistance and emancipation.
