Our nomadic guest is in the perpetual movement of signs that heal the blood. In
Caravan of Thirst
, he writes: "
She weaves a mat of palm leaves for her husband who has led the caravan beyond the borders, kneeling by the chains of prisons and the blaze of torture
". The plural of these prisons and these tortures is combined with the unique and always oppressed history of the Tuaregs: during and after colonization. I invite you In G Major to a sandstorm of seductive forms: that of an Anthology of
Hawad's
poetry
entitled
Furigraphie
: where it is furiously a question of desert and thirst, of Tuareg politics and cosmogony that he lets loose by enigma or parable.
Where we also understand that there is no less foreign to humanity ... than a Tuareg.
Hawad is part of the program of the Festival Hotel Sahara which takes place in Pantin, from June 12 to October 2.
