Synopsis
Through the initiatory story of the young hero Hereau, on his way to the adult world haunted by secrets and desires for revenge, the new creation of the CAMéLéon explores the meanderings of family secrets and their consequences on subsequent generations.
Must one be a warrior to become a man? Must one, to go straight, avenge those whom one loves? How can you be a father when you don’t know your own?
KESHI, this unwanted pearl, discredited and decoded is a human comedy par excellence, written in the line of the pure classical tragedies of ancient Greece, here and now in Tahiti.

Reviews and Quotes
***** TAHITI INFO : Keshi is the new play by the company of the CAMELEON that deals with family secrets and, through them, the violence that perpetuates in the heart of homes. It is a piece with a strong text, a meticulous direction, brilliantly interpreted. A piece that sounds right and that achieves its goal. It leaves no one indifferent, the public, under the blow of emotion, wonders. It follows a multitude of avenues of reflection.
