Tarek Lakhrissi

Through the reading of recent romantic and critical poems accompanied by the lyrical vocals of Makeda Monnet and the electronic music of Victor da Silva (Fatma Pneumonia), the show will be interspersed with utopian queer passions, dark corners to protect oneself, erotic dreams and free moments of improvisation.
