Ecrivain et actrice, Anna Deavere  Smith donne vie à l'auteur Studs Terkel, à la condamnée Paulette Jenkins , à une commerçante coréenne et à un cavalier de taureaux, extraits de son spectacle "Sur la route: à la recherche de l'Américain -type"

l'Américain-type, par Anna Deavere Smith

America’s identity emerges through many voices, not a single story. By interviewing thousands across divides—bull riders, convicts, shopkeepers—one can feel both the pain and resilience that shape the nation. A laugh from a baby on a silent train, a mother’s confession after tragedy, and a shopkeeper’s conflicted hope each expose the fragile but enduring human touch. These lived moments reveal the complexity beneath headlines and challenge easy notions of justice, risk, and community.
