Die jüngste Tochter · Uraufführung

In the organizer's words:

by Fatima Daas - Translated from the French by Sina de Malafosse

Radically open, "The Youngest Daughter" explores the diversity of an identity - a powerful tale of self-empowerment.

Standing out, leading a double life, not conforming to expectations - Fatima feels at odds with herself and the world from an early age. As the youngest daughter of an Algerian family growing up in a Parisian suburb, she feels constantly torn between family and self-discovery, faith and sexuality, tradition and urban life. She has to travel three hours by bus every day to go to secondary school. What to do with the insecurity, anger and strength she feels inside her? Fatima finds an outlet in writing. "My name is Fatima" is the catchphrase at the beginning of every page in her notebook. In a mixture of sura and spoken word, she confronts the situations that have made her who she is today: a commuter between worlds that should not really be separate. Her words gradually manifest a confession to herself and her history.

The award-winning debut novel "The Youngest Daughter" by Fatima Daas was celebrated as a literary event and will be adapted for the stage and premiered by Leyla-Claire Rabih.
