Theatre La Lune: Petit Pays — Kleines Land

In the organizer's words:

Memories of a childhood in paradise stolen by war.

Stage adaptation of the novel by Gaël Faye. A production of the Theatre La Lune.

They steal mangoes from the neighbor's garden and jump naked from the 10-meter tower. They ponder the name of their gang, but not politics. And because they have French passports, they hardly notice that a rift has long been running through the country. In "Petit Pays - Small Country", a paradisiacal childhood is gradually consumed by the civil war in Burundi in the 1990s. In this stage adaptation of the debut novel by French-based rapper Gaël Faye, the eternal and elusive destination of his dreams comes to life: His homeland Burundi.

Ils volent des mangues dans le jardin du voisin et sautent tout nus de la tour dans la piscine. They discuss the names of their gang, but not the politics. As they have French passports, they don't realize that there is a rupture that is beginning to divide their country, that they are being threatened by civil war. But... ce sont des élèves... Gaël Faye, rappeur d'origine de Burundi, évoque dans son début troublant "Petit Pays" le but illusoire et infini de ses rêves: son pays d'origine Burundi.
