Luttes Baroques

Narguess Majd

Two adolescents fight. Two adolescents fight in two corners of the world. Two angry adolescents try to get what they want. One tries to remove her veil at highschool in Iran, but she is not allowed. The other tries to wear one at highschool in France, but she does not have the right. Their anger is similar, so is their determination. The Iranian is applauded by those who beleive in “women’s freedom” in France. The French is applauded by those who beleive in “women’s dignity” in Iran. But how do these two tennagers feel? And what position do they choose in relation to their close ones and their society?

Two actress/manipulator/musicians as well as four baroque musicians are present on stage. In a world of paper theatre, with a lot of music and little speach, they tell the stories of these two adolescents’ life and struggles.
