Ma cousine Nadia

from ENS-Louis-Lumiere · host ENS Louis Lumière

Une création de Noa AMIEL et Omer STAVI (Israël)Résumé (Français / Anglais)Nadia Amiel et Nadia Dray sont cousines, toutes les deux nées au Maroc il y a 70 ans. A la fin des années 50, âgées de 11 et 13 ans, elles ont déménagé l’une en Israël, l’autre en France. Les deux Nadia pensent qu’elles auraient vécu une meilleure vie ailleurs : Nadia Amiel, qui vit dans la ville côtière d’Ashdod, envie le bien-être dont jouit sa cousine en France alors que Nadia Dray pense qu’il n’y a pas de meilleur endroit pour vivre qu’Israël. Leurs perspectives, l’une sur l’autre et sur elles-mêmes, reflètent la complexité de l’identité des juifs d’Afrique du Nord en France et en Israël.Nadia Amiel and Nadia Dray are cousins, both born in Morocco, both now in their seventies. In the late 50's, aged 11 and 13, respectively, one moved to Israel while the other emigrated to France. Both Nadias believe they could have lived a better life in the country they did not end up in: Nadia Amiel, who lives in the coastal town of Ashdod, envies the well being enjoyed by her cousin in France, while Nadia Dray thinks there is no better place than the Jewish state. Their perspectives on each other and on themselves show the complex identity of North African Jews in France and in Israel.
