STIGMA
In a country walking on its head…
Inflation, shortages, political crisis, corruption, violence, migratory flows and latent and overt racism, a Mediterranean thirsting for corpses, pandemics, fires, drought…
Everyday life is becoming increasingly oppressive, suffocating and agonising!
And we find ourselves trying to protect ourselves from others, against others, real or imagined enemies.
And we find ourselves forgetting certain ideals, certain causes for which we have always fought.
Why talk about Palestine today?
Why should we?
To stop history being forgotten, amnesia, erased and falsified.
To say that in Palestine there are men, women and others who aspire only to live a normal life without being trapped in this suffocating duality: heroes or victims…
who do nothing but say, shout, scream in the face of the earth: We are like everyone else, neither angels nor demons, نحن بشر

Interview with Jalila Baccar, the performer and author of “Stigma”.
“In this church, the director welcomes the audience into a bifrontal space, above which she projects images […] One [Jaïbi] who gladly breaks the rules and chooses delicate subjects, offering a different perspective on them.”
