Finding Myself (In Mirages) by Frédéric Fisbach
Finding Myself (In Mirages) - from March 04th - 08th
The Last Stage and the French Institute of Cambodia are honored to present a new play, FINDING
MYSELF (IN MIRAGES), directed by the renowned director from France, Frédéric Fisbach and featuring Khmer artists from the Acting Art
Academy alongside international actress Madalina Constantin.
Frédéric Fisbach is a theatre and opera director, filmmaker, and actor, renowned throughout Europe and Japan. We are
proud to welcome him to Phnom Penh to direct a new play, collaborating with Khmer actors for the first time.
"Finding Myself (In Mirages)" is the story of a woman in love with a man. When he suddenly disappears, she sets out on a
quest to search those areas of the world that we find difficult to consider as part of our own: the world of nightlife, marginalization,
prostitution, drugs...
She meets the women who live there, women who knew the man she is looking for.
Everything seems to separate them, and yet those women talk to her and confide in her. Through these encounters, a form of recognition develops between them. Recognition of everything they have in common, despite everything that separates them.
The play is inspired by a scenario that gives voice to women broken by life, men, parents, society... whom Antoine d'Agata has encountered
along his path. These words are preceded by an introductory text by Antoine d'Agata, which, in the form of an incandescent poem, explains
the reasons that led him to choose a life spent alongside those who have been severely scarred by existence.
FIVE PERFORMANCES ONLY! From 4 to 8 March, at The Last Stage Riverside.

This operation is supported by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and the French Institute as part of the strategy for the
international export of cultural and creative industries.
Frédéric Fisbach is invited to Cambodia in 2025-2026 as part of the PICC program, "Voices of the Stage: Exchanges and
Innovation in Live Performance in Cambodia." This program, supported by the French Institute, aims to strengthen cooperation between
Cambodian and French institutions in the performing arts, with a focus on training, creation, international distribution, and the
professional development of Cambodian artists. By offering local creators a platform to develop original productions and by fostering
intercultural exchange, this project will contribute to the growth of the Cambodian theater and dance scene and to building lasting cultural
bridges between Cambodia and France.
