ABOUT THE PLAY

Winter 1990. In Brussels, Amélie Nothomb has finished her studies in medieval roman philology. She decides to travel back to Japan in order to work, a country she knows since she was born there. She gets a one year work contract for the Yumimoto company. This job, more than she hope for, will bring her many surprises, from which she will learn various lessons… The main character is, of course, Amélie Nothomb herself, who writes autobiographically.

This performance is adapted, directed and interpreted by Layla Metssitane from Amélie Nothomb’s novel Stupeur et Tremblements – Édition Albin Michel Grand Prix du Roman de l’Académie Française 1999.
