The show tells the family story of artist Yasmine Yahiatene between the end of the Algerian Revolution (1961) and France’s victory in the 1998 World Cup, when the best football player was Zinedine Zidane, a French player of Algerian origin.

The daughter and the father have destinies that bear the imprint of a complicated history, marked by the history of the colonization of Algeria as well as the phenomenon of the migration of Algerians to France.

In her monodrama, Yasmine Yahiatene describes her journey towards her Algerian and Kabyle origins and her father’s alcoholism, and discovers things that the two might have in common. Her artistic process, which includes her own pencil drawings, creates a poetic field that invites you not only to decode an intimate and complex relationship, but also to discuss the way in which the history of Algeria has been affected by French colonization. How many experiments do you have to make, how many scenarios to you have to invent to find the road to your origins, to reestablish connections and to identify a starting point for resilience or for healing?
