The story follows Pema, a young girl on a quest to find her father, crossing borders and facing the unknown. Along the way, she meets other women, each marked by her own journey and struggles. Together, they advance towards an ultimate barrier: that which separates the certain from the uncertain, fear from hope. Somewhere between realism and dream, the play tackles the visible and invisible limits that separate individuals and peoples.

Femmes au bord du monde is aimed at audiences sensitive to the themes of exile, resilience and female solidarity. Its poetic writing and dreamlike staging make it an immersive and emotional experience.

With its international cast and universal message, the play seems to transcend languages and cultures. It questions notions of identity, belonging and resilience. With its promise of humor and tenderness, Femmes au bord du monde invites us to reflect on the challenges of exile and the hopes it inspires.
