Kheir Inch'Allah

Yousra Dahry, from Anderlecht, is in her thirties and has Moroccan roots. She is also a specialist educator, a radio presenter, a writer-actor of video clips and a slam singer. Silver-tongued and streetwise. A pen and a presence. Beyond that, it all came down to a matter of meetings – and desire – for this first solo show to be born. First at Le Rideau, then at Épiscène in Avignon, and on many other stages, attracting an enthusiastic and diverse audience, many of them new spectators.

In this one-woman show, the autobiography of this young woman marked by the ‘only-child syndrome’, who responds to expectations by swaggering along and who stubbornly defines herself through the collective. A life dissected, portrayed and embodied in a skilful dramaturgy that makes light of clichés. A life whose shortcomings are made up for by sassiness and resourcefulness. A real life, reconstructed and questioned with panache, humour and sensitivity.
