The play Bientôt le jour, written by Julie Bertin, brings together seven distinct stories from seven different countries—France, Italy, Spain, the United States, Austria, India, and Cameroon—each performed in its native language. The play is based on real-life testimonies gathered from these regions and explores themes of personal growth and transformation, often linked to the political, social, or historical contexts that shape such changes. The narrative structure allows for a diverse and layered exploration of identity and change across cultures. Bientôt le jour features a cast of seven actors, including Caroline Arrouas, Fareen Aslam, Heza Botto, Robin Causse, Morgane Nairaud, Loïc Riewer, and Gaia Singer. The production includes scenic design by James Brandily, with assistance from Céane Jelsch, and set construction by the Ateliers de construction de la Comédie de Caen – CDN. Lighting is designed by Jérémie Papin, with help from Théo Le Menthéour, while sound is handled by Lucas Lelièvre. Costumes are designed by Pauline Kieffer, and choreography is by Lucía García Pullés. Video consultation is provided by Pierre Nouvel, and the general stage management is by Marco Benigno, with lighting and sound technical direction by Théo Le Menthéour and Lucas Lelièvre, respectively. The production team includes Manon Cardineau, Iris Cottu, Colin Pitrat, and Florence Bourgeon – Les Indépendances.
