Asmahan was a singer and actress of sultry beauty and tumultuous life. She drowned under obscure circumstances in the Nile in 1944, at the age of 27. This play is a strange duet between 25-year-old Asmahan, cloistered in her King David hotel room in Jerusalem, and Asmahan, who returns to earth many years after her tragic death in the Nile. A voice that, between East and West, reconciles cultures that today clash.
This multi-disciplinary piece combining theater, music, dance and video art was written and directed by Sophie Jabès.With: Fiona Levy, Alexiane Torres, Chirine El Ansary, Marion Malenfant, Hend Zouari, Victor Mizrahi and the help of Pascal Luneau.
