Premiere at the Théâtre du Rond Point "Ils n'avaient pas prévu qu'on allait gagner".

[IN FRENCH ONLY] CultureSecrets brings you the premiere of Christine Citti's "Ils n'avaient pas prévu qu'on allait gagner", directed by Jean-Louis Martinelli at the Théâtre du Rond Point. The touching story of a teenager left behind.

Emmanuelle arrives at an emergency shelter for minors. She is an actress and wants to introduce them to theater. Four boys and four girls confront her with the boredom and violence of an adolescence left behind. Prostitution, drugs, abuse, incest. They have crossed the minefields of ruined lives. They tell their stories, confronting the educators, at the end of their nerves and their strength. Can they still "win"? Jean-Louis Martinelli directs thirteen actors, including the play's author, Christine Citti, in her own role. A portrait without concession or angelism, chilled with humor, of a furious and bubbling youth.
