Abstract

This research studies David Lescot’s trilogy, which tells the story of a child who goes through three steps, beginning with his entry into middle school and the start of changes in his environment and friends. He embarks on this journey with great fear and anxiety, then moves on to forming new relationships with his classmates, and then sets out in search of inner peace amid this major change in age, places and others. His journey ends with him forming beautiful friendships with his classmates, before moving on to his final journey, where he learns about nature, its beauty, and the secrets of working and living in it.  The study addressed the theme of fear in the first play as a factor of challenge and a sign of adaptation to reality. It sought to explore the motions of a child preparing to join his classroom. It also approached fear as a threshold into the unknown.

In the second play, the study examined how new friendships contribute to strengthening self-confidence and encourage the assumption of a leadership role. In the third play, it highlighted the conclusion of his exploratory journey, as well as the nature of the transformation in personnel identity and the reconciliation with oneself.
