Morgan·e Janoir

Alex is 23, has a degree, a boyfriend and a permanent job in sight. Everything is in its place, but something is wrong. One day, when she enters a bar across the street, she discovers a community, a world and a story in which she finally feels at home. There she realises: she is a lesbian.


‘L'ouvrir’ is a poetic parenthesis in the form of a musical theatre piece about coming out – to oneself and to the rest of the world. Does this inner process have to shake up one's previous life?
This personal and at the same time collective testimony is an attempt to answer this question. It is the diary of an essential stage on the path to adulthood: the realisation of one's own self.
