Joyaux lourdement sous-estimés (heavily underestimated jewels) is a play that delves into the complexities of intimate relationships. This performance aims to portray a romantic tale that is both dreamlike and terrifying, exploring love and the turbulence of being in a relationship. Beyond simple representation, the show seeks to illustrate the quest to transcend personal trauma and its impact on intimacy. By challenging established norms of monogamy and heteronormativity, the play does not shy away from the discomfort inherent in life as a couple, but rather explores curiosity and the desire to embark on new paths in relationships. By juxtaposing everyday romantic drama with the complex realities of shared life and issues related to chemsex, the performance invites the audience to immerse themselves in the characters’ emotions and experiences, offering a profound reflection on the nature of interpersonal relationships.
