Alone on stage, with candor and mischief: a show full of humor and tenderness where cultures and identities intersect without ever clashing.<div> From his father's arrival in Belgium in the 70s to his own role as a father, Belgian, Moroccan, Frenchman, Judeo-Christian Muslim and artist, Ismaël Saïdi traces the journey of a child shuttled between Catholic, secular, municipal and Muslim schools, of a teenager in search of landmarks, of a policeman of Moroccan origin arriving in an all-white police station.</div><div><br></div><div> How can one find their place when they are the product of this complex mix, a veritable "lasagna of identities" where all the layers of a multicultural life are piled up, intertwined, and savored? Can one reconcile multiple heritages without falling into the trap of communitarianism or erasure?</div><div><br></div><div> With incredible sincerity and a great deal of self-deprecation, he invites you to experience a slice of his life. From his turbulent youth to his adult questions, he retraces his defining encounters and uses the power of personal narrative to dismantle, one by one, the mechanisms of hatred, whether it be everyday racism or the anti-Semitism that he has sometimes seen emerging within his own neighborhood.</div><div><br></div><div> Alone on stage, with candor and mischief: a show full of humor and tenderness where cultures and identities intertwine without ever clashing. A true ode to tolerance.</div>
