A young woman tells a story. Hers and her father’s. Or rather her story and the role her father plays in it. Or, why he doesn’t play much of a role in it anymore. And what that means. Where it comes from. What’s missing. Where the gaps are, the blank patches in a landscape, which are called biography or Algeria or France. How many experiments do you have to do, which scenarios do you have to invent to find the path back to your own roots, to re-establish contact, locate a starting point, make amends, for resilience or healing?

Triggerwarning: The show speak about depression and alcoholism
The show is in French with subtitles in Dutch and English. 

Over the maker
In her solo piece, Yasmine Yahiatene shares the stage with a video screen and her drawing pencil. She’s the writer, searcher and protagonist in a story that describes a journey to her Algerian and Kabylian roots, to her father’s alcoholism and to the things they might have in common. Her artistic process creates a poetic field on the stage, where it becomes possible to decode an intimate and complex relationship, but also to ask how it was affected by the history of Algeria as a colony of France.
