Euphrate

EUPHRATE: Creation of theater and dance

Daughter of a Turkish father and a Norman mother, Euphrate is a high school senior facing challenges within the education system. Besides her rather mediocre grades,  she must soon express her choice of career path: a real conundrum. She begins to wonder how her dual culture has influenced her identity. In a witty and humorous dialogue with her father, she embarks on a journey to explore her Turkish roots and childhood memories. Blending dance and words, the show joyfully expresses the path toward affirming her own voice as a woman.
