Barbès Café, la suite

🎪 Following the lively success of Barbès Café, created in 2011, Méziane Azaïche continues the story of this emblematic show from the Cabaret Sauvage.

At Barbès Café, the history of Algerian immigration in France continues to be written. Moh and Lili welcome the audience: he still dreams of returning to the homeland; she, born in Paris, fully asserts that she is from here. Between tenderness, humor and disagreements, their stories create a dialogue between the memories of exile and today's France. They frankly address discrimination, Islamophobia, the need for justice and recognition for those, often foreigners or children of immigrants, who keep France alive on a daily basis.

‍

A story carried by an orchestra of 7 musicians and the most beautiful songs of exile, from Slimane Azem to Chérifa, from Djamel Allam to Idir and Zebda, from raï to chaâbi and today's music.

‍

A generous, popular and political cabaret, to remind us that, having come from elsewhere, we truly belong here.
