Bagdad, Paris et Moi

"You should tell your story." He was told so many times that he ended up doing it.

Alone on stage, with a suitcase and a few objects, Bassam Hamadi brings his family back to life. He recounts the meeting of his parents, Baghdad before and during the war, then the departure to France and the arrival in Paris. It also tells of a childhood spent being discreet to better integrate.

The dramas are there, but they rub shoulders with the small joys, clumsiness and absurd situations of exile, those of which we always end up laughing. Without great speeches or sustained effects, it makes the audience go from a burst of laughter to a moment of emotion.

Champion de France of improvisation and vice-champion of the world, Bassam Hamadi leaves here the impro match aside. He signs a personal and direct narrative, an hour to talk about roots, silence and transmission.

A singular story that will resonate in all those who have one day had to find their place.
