L’Ombre du Figuier

With her debut show, L’Ombre du Figuier Souhaïla Amri wants to highlight forgotten stories. Inspired by her family (history), she explores how we remember those who came before us. Through storytelling, proverbs and symbolic objects, the play mixes true stories with invented ones, bringing our predecessors to life. The performance invites us to think about our own history and how we fit into the great story of humanity. She presented L’Ombre du Figuier, under the working title Histoires et Histoire, at WIPCOOP Brussels 2024, and took her performance to work with a residence at Ras El Hanout. In January, Souhaïla will show the final result. Experience it with us!
