Wild teen tales, written by the French author and teacher Bernard Friot and directed by Maria Savvidou, returns to the Young People’s Stage.
Friot has the rare gift of being able to touch on the biggest, most important and most sensitive of issues in a way that is light-hearted but takes them seriously. With boldness and humour, his stories deal with everyday issues and the relationships, discoveries, secrets and conflicts of adolescence with lightness and sensitivity. It is a production that gives colourful voice to what is sometimes said with difficulty behind the closed door of a teenager’s bedroom.
Having worked for many years as a teacher, Friot has studied the way in which young people themselves narrate their stories. This particular perspective, the interplay between fantasy and reality, directly or indirectly inspires the way he writes, and he often uses stories told by children as material for his works. Friot has written and translated more than 50 books for children and adults, many of which have been translated into German and Italian and have won major awards.
