Alterindiens
Angel is a young man dreaming of writing the first successful indigenous science fiction book; as for Corinne, eleven years his senior, she is a young woman of Jewish origin who teaches indigenous literature at the university. One evening, without the shadow of a consultation, friends are invited to the couple’s table. The latter are the very image of all their contradictions, representing two social clichés at the extremes of each other: Angel’s indigenous radical activist “boyfriends” and Corinne’s intellectual environmentalist and vegan friends.
On the menu of this satire is a portrait of our irreconcilable cultural differences, moose meat and a vegan lasagna. Everything is therefore in place for the grand deployment of this situation comedy which allows us to thwart predetermined roles and open the door to a space of conciliation.
This show is in French, surtitled in English.
