PASSPORT The new creation by Alexis Michalik In his new play Passport, Alexis Michalik explores a current issue: the situation of refugees in France. He opts for a human story that offers a different perspective from a documentary. Directed by: Alexis Michalik With Christopher Bayemi or Clyde Yeguete or Olivier Dote Doevi Patrick Blandin or Marc Fayet or Julien Muller Jean-Louis Garçon or Ibrahima Ba or Gaël Tavares Kevin Razy or Kinsley Camachee or Nathanaël Kaulanjan Fayçal Safi or Idir Chender or Kamel Isker Manda Touré or Brenda Broohm or Tracy Gotoas Ysmahane Yaqini or Nouritza Emmanuelian or Sheraze Saïd Issa, a young Eritrean, left for dead in the "jungle" of Calais, has lost his memory. With only his passport as a tangible reminder of his past, he embarks on a long and arduous quest to obtain a residency permit, surrounded by fellow sufferers. "Generally speaking, I never want to write about a theme, but rather base my work on a specific idea or situation, which then gives rise to the structure of the play. I wrote this new play in Guadeloupe, alone, after developing its outlines for over a year and doing extensive research. It's not political or documentary theatre, but a human story that speaks to everyone," explains Alexis Michalik.
