The Rebels by Jean-Pierre Martinez
The Rebels is a contemporary comedy by Jean-Pierre Martinez for 6 characters.
In adulthood, our lives are not always as we had dreamed them to be at twenty. Conversely, the idealised memory of our twenties is often quite distant from the reality of our youth. Nestled between our dreamt lives and our actual life is the nostalgia for all the possibilities. The eternal question remains: could we really have lived a different life, or was it all written in advance? This bittersweet comedy sketches, in delicate strokes, the tragicomic portrait of a few characters with thwarted destinies.
