SANS LA FOUDRE SOUS MA PEAU

Jo, originally from Réunion, is a French teacher in Marseille. She loves today’s teenagers – the ones she sees every day – who bear little resemblance to the teenagers she herself experienced on her island. In Jo’s class, hormones are running wild to the point of making one’s head spin. Baya, a boy-chaser, confides in Adélaïde that intimate relationships frighten her; Adélaïde, for her part, asks Karl to share her ‘first time’ with her, hoping that afterwards she’ll be less afraid to give herself to the boy she’s in a virtual relationship with. But Karl is actually more attracted to Nathan, who, for his part, prefers Adélaïde… This play explores the complex relationships between girls and boys today, but also, more broadly, other themes, notably the differences in reality between the overseas territories and mainland France.
