Sarah Hassenforder's immersive play 'Fisha' at Avignon OFF 2026 explores cyberbullying
At the Avignon OFF 2026 festival, Sarah Hassenforder presents 'Fisha', an immersive theatrical work at La Factory. The piece centers on Alia, a high school student who becomes a victim of 'fisha' (public shaming via leaked images). Through the perspectives of six characters—Lorenzo, Trefi, Cléo, Imane, Mayeul, and Alia—the play examines complicit silences around cyberharassment and the prevalence of masculinist discourse on social media. The immersive setup forces each audience member to make choices, mirroring the characters' need to form opinions with incomplete information. The production is supported by a press release.
