About the play

Daughter of a Turkish father and a Norman mother, Euphrate is a high school senior struggling within the education system. In addition to her rather modest academic results, she must soon make a decision about her future career path—a real puzzle. She begins to question the impact her dual cultural background may have had on the formation of her identity. In a witty and heartfelt dialogue with her father, she sets out to explore her Turkish roots and childhood memories. Blending dance and spoken word, the performance tells, through the freedom of a joyful body, the journey toward asserting one’s own voice as a woman.
