The play “Les cinq roses de Jennifer” explores the solitude and struggle of an individual against dominant discourse.

Translated and directed by Daniela Morina Pelaggi, the production is supported by a talented artistic and technical team, and it marks its world premiere in French under the banner of Compagnie Daï Daï Produçao.
