Event

Hmar Lil - Somnambule

On the venue's site

From the Arab Spring to her asylum application, Asmaa speaks and sings about her life as a refugee, her nightmares, her passion for Pokémon and her love at first sight for a woman "as beautiful as the revolution".

In a maid's room too small to be legally rented, with a bed and three suitcases as its only furniture, Asmaa recounts her arrival in France in 2017 through texts and songs performed in French, Arabic and Amazigh, while the craze for the Pokémon Go app is at its height and many refugees are searching for their place. The parallel she draws between the two allows her to unfold her story, from obtaining asylum to her audition for theatre school, passing through the search for a roof over her head or a romantic relationship, but also to expose the reality of isolated young people.
