Synopsis:
It all begins with an unexpected find: a wallet discovered in a student’s mailbox. From this seemingly trivial event, a group of high school students embarks on a journey to uncover the story behind a mysterious figure – Amer M. Who is he? What secrets lie behind this name? Through a series of intriguing encounters, bold theories, and emotional deductions, the students guide us through an investigation that blurs the lines between reality and imagination, as they attempt to reconstruct the fragments of a forgotten life.
This performance is the result of months of collaborative work, reflecting the dedication and creativity of the students, guided by their theatre teacher. It is also an invitation to reflect on our own relationship to others, to memory, and to the stories we build to make sense of our world.
