“Tsunami” is the story of Dorra, a 25 -year -old, daughter of a former Islamist political prisoner who fled from her house and removed the veil she had had since the age of 9. Like Antigone, she cannot recover from the disappearance of her brother, who died in Syria and revolts against her uncle who became a great Islamist political official after the Revolution.
During her run, accompanied by Amine, a young Democratic activist, she met Hayet, a woman in sixty years, former human rights activist, who saw all her dreams collapse. A dialectical relationship is established between Hayet and Amine (the lover of Dorra, freed from his channels and chased by his family) between a former generation of activists and a news, which advocates armed resistance in the face of the Islamist tide which threatens to take everything away.
“Tsunami”, the third part of the trilogy started by Khamsoun (hostage body) in 2006 and Yahia Yaïch (Amnesia) in 2010, is presented as the place of reflection on the eye of the cyclone, the chronicle of a upheaval of nature, goods and men by the advent of an unprecedented disorder, submerge and aneant. Admitted, suffered … He mainly stages the Tunisian, suddenly exposed, faced with himself, his illusions, his lies, his fantasies, his murdered dreams, confronted like never with his buried nightmares.
The play depicts the opposition of two dreams, two models of society: one obscurantist although under moderate face and the other modernist and more open to developments in the world, underlines the producer Familia Productions.
