On stage, a man in a suit, black pants, white shirt, first in city shoes, then barefoot. Next to him is a piece of K-shaped wood, about the size of a double bass. Some accessories, light effects, sound effects and from time to time some musical notes and a voice over. And words. Words from a storyteller and a whole host of characters for this single-in-scene who tell us 13 stories, in turn and at the same time tender and cruel, funny and sad, who tell us about injustice, dictatorship , shame, loneliness, art and writing too.

With : actors and directors Gragori Baquet and Xavier Jaillard . And Delphine Gachet , lecturer at Bordeaux Montaine University, specialist in Dino Buzzati, responsible for the Associazione Internazionale Dino Buzzati in France.

Like all this week, Amélie Beaucour takes us to the gates of the Moroccan desert, in the middle of an artist residency, for the Africa 2020 season. Eight young painters, photographers, or musicians, from a countries crossed by the Sahara settled there for 7 days to create together a work which will be exhibited at the General Stores in Pantin, near Paris, at the start of the school year. After Sara, Famakan and Ismail, Amélie presents to us today Salim, a young Moroccan artist, who casts a critical eye and ear on the desert and the cultural and political realities that surround it.
