Francophone Realities

Francophone authors are presenting us with their image of France: the first generation of Algerian immigrants having philosophical discussions in a home about the winter of life;couples that have fled from dirty Istambul to blissful glorious  France to find themselves sleeping under bridges; wealthy people enjoying the human safari in war zones. Nasser Djemaï, Aiat Fayez, Sedef Ecer, Marie-Louise Mumbu and Sonia Ristic travelled to Berlin for the readings of their plays to discuss with us similarities and differences of the marginaliszation and the Status Quo in France and Germany.
