Presented in French.

Out in the schoolyard, Jonathan and Latifa kissed. The incident would have gone unnoticed but for the shock wave that radiated from them with explosive force. The witnesses to the scene were struck speechless by the impact and dazzled by the incandescent story of bodies and emotions unfolding before them. Nothing made sense, everything was falling apart, nothing was certain any more: the only sure thing was this blinding flash of love, right here, right now.

Using an unconventional and engaging approach, S’embrasent takes an unabashed look at love at first sight, blending stories and personal recollections to investigate the power not just of passion, but of sexual attraction. Featuring renowned Quebec actress Béatrice Picard in her first role in a play for young audiences, S’embrasent reminds us that desire will have its way... at any age!
