Born in Morocco and raised in Gabon, Amine tells of his African roots, his multifaceted identity, and the different cultures that shaped him. Between traditions, modernity, family, religion, and integration, he looks back on the experiences and encounters that molded the man he has become.
At the heart of the show, he also touches on his homosexuality within a family with Jewish and Muslim heritage, carrying the weight of traditions, family expectations, and the clash of multiple cultures that do not always tell the same story.
Yet Gayrit doesn't seek to preach. Through anecdotes, characters, encounters, romances, struggles, and sometimes absurd situations, Amine turns the contradictions of his journey into humor, self-deprecation, and emotion.
A one-man show about identity, Africa, family, love, difference, and all those encounters along the way that ultimately make us who we are.
Gayrit is a personal story that becomes universal: because we have all been shaped somewhere... and often by someone else.
