Déracinés / Broken from the Roots

Info

“No country, no mother!”

What does it mean to live away from the country you were born in? No talking the language of the country you live in? To be THE OTHER, the one that, in the collective vision, is not part of the “majority”?

Citizens freedom of movement (a fundamental value of modern Europe), the migration caused by the armed conflicts in the Middle East, globalization or the permanent HUMAN need to move, since the oldest of times, to find his place somewhere else than the country of origin, represented, in recent years, subjects largely debated and analyzed, in most European societies and beyond. 

Through the lens of artists’ various experiences and cultural luggage, but having a common language, the theater, the Déracinés / Broken from the Roots show was born.
