Mohamed El Khatib and Alain Cavalier : incongruous dialogue between two « documentarisators » of their art.
Film-maker Alain Cavalier and director Mohamed El Khatib, whose fortuitous encounter stems from the erroneous purchase of a camera, will be bearing their all - via the methodological dissection of the dreams that affect and afflict them. This double portrait, from both sides of the Mediterranean, will not end up as a film nor a piece of theatre, but rather the drafting in public of a micro-history of two very different lives which cross each other in strange ways.

Mohamed El Khatib furthers his passion for documentary theatre by tackling a subject that he brings from out of the shadows, namely that of eroticism and the love lives of “oldies”. Put together in a daring yet tender way, his new piece explores this theme from the perspective of desire, thereby going against the usual connotations associated with old age.

What will it be this time: thunderous applause or icy silence? In Mohamed El Khatib's opinion, the inherently risky nature of stand-up comedy elevates it to a theatrical art in its own right. A framework for expression of all kinds, it clears the path for transgressive laughter, in a cathartic space which brings us all together.
