Ismaël Saïdi dans Tribulations d'un musulman d'ici

From the arrival of his father in Belgium in the years 70 to his own role as father, Belgian, Moroccan, French, Judeo-Christian Muslim and artist, Ismaël Saïdi retraces the journey of a child trimbalé in Catholic, secular, communal and Muslim schools, a teenager in search of landmarks, a white policeman in search of a Moroccan origin.

How to find your place when you are the fruit of this complex mixture, a real "lasagne of identities" where pile up, intermingle and savor all layers of a multicultural life? Can we reconcile multiple legacies without falling into the trap of communitarianism or erasure?

With incredible sincerity and a lot of self-deprecation, he invites you to live a slice of his life. From his bubbling youth to adult questioning, he traces his defining encounters and uses the strength of intimate narrative to dismantle one by one the mechanisms of hatred, whether it is ordinary racism or anti-Semitism that he has sometimes seen emerging within his own neighborhood.

Alone on stage, with candor and malice: a show full of humor and tenderness where cultures and identities intersect without ever clashing. A true ode to tolerance.
