La Fournaise

Othello and Desdemona are in love. This mixed-race couple faces racism, social prejudice and the scheming of a malevolent friend. This rewriting of Shakespeare's play resonates with tragic force in our own time. Following its world premiere at the Studio-Théâtre, the production will tour the Indian Ocean region in collaboration with the CDNOI.
