Sagesses et Sottises de Nassr Eddin Hodja

Sagesses et Sottises de Nassr Eddin Hodja brings together Lorianne Cherpillod, Miguel Fernandez-V, Tara Macris, and Sophie Tirabosco to narrate the tale of this 13th-century wise fool. Spanning from Persia to Algeria, Nassr Eddin is a character admired for embodying both innocence and wisdom through a series of short stories that range from philosophical musings to humorous anecdotes. The narrative delves into his life, his adventures with his trusty donkey, encounters with figures of authority, and his debates with the divine, all enriched by music and songs from the lands of figs and dates.

The play “Les cinq roses de Jennifer” explores the solitude and struggle of an individual against dominant discourse. It tells the story of Jennifer, a romantically inclined femminiello, who awaits the eagerly anticipated call from Franco after an unforgettable night together. Each day, she dedicates a song to him while living under the threat of a serial killer targeting transvestites in her 1980s Naples neighborhood. Though seemingly light-hearted, the play powerfully portrays the outsider’s condition and the despair of hiding in order to be accepted. 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.
