Passport

A young man left for dead has lost his memory. The only tangible element of his past is his passport. He is Eritrean, he crossed the sea, he is in Calais. He then begins a long quest strewn with obstacles to obtain a residence permit. From the singular story of this man without memory, the author makes us vibrate in unison with these people forced to reinvent an identity to survive. Seven actors take on the characters to catch us from the first minute and to deliver a formidable humanist tale which, in passing, sets the clocks to the time of certain convictions. The Michalik magic operates again. Through all these intertwined destinies, between dangers, solidarity, and hope, the play explores exile and the quest for a free and serene life. The narration is breathless, carried by a choral staging and deeply touching characters, the show gives flesh to the invisible paths of migrants. Alexis Michalik has been triumphing in the theater for over a decade. Le Cercle of illusionists, Le Porteur of stories, Edmond, Intra-Muros, A love story… his talent as a storyteller is undeniable. Neither militant nor documentary, the show is the embodiment of what exile means through a unifying story. _______ By: Alexis Michalik / Director: Alexis Michalik / With: Blaise Afonso, Marwane El Boubsi, Tamara Kalvanda, Nabil Missoumi, Edson Pedro and Guy Theunissen / Assistant Director: Clotilde Daniault / Scenography: Juliette Azzopardi / Costumes: Marion Rebmann / Lighting: François Leneveu / Video: Nathalie Cabrol / Accessory: Pauline Gallot / Music: Johnson Sly _______ A CO-PRODUCTION OF THÉÂTRE LE PUBLIC, ACMÉ AND LA FRANÇAISE DE THÉÂTRE.
