Description
When Julien first hears the rapper Jul on the radio, he becomes a fan. He—the young “scrapyard kid”—identifies with the artist from Marseille…
Blending autobiographical elements with pure fiction, *J’oublie tout* tells the story of a young boy from the south of France—one of thousands like him. Young people striving to find their place in a society that sells them unattainable dreams. Defying the conventions of a self-righteous culture, Julien Gallix embraces this boundless passion that youth have for the rapper. This is less a show about Jul than about what he represents for today’s youth: a mythical figure in the quest for identity, an example of success, self-sacrifice, and unshakable confidence in who one is. You don’t have to be a fan of Jul to be moved. With humor and self-deprecating wit, Julien Gallix delivers a powerful, unpretentious one-man show. A true delight.
