Adib Alkhalidey
Salle Albert-Rousseau
Humor — After Québécois Tabarnak and Des putes et des voleurs — both winners of the Humor Show of the Year award at the ADISQ Gala, a first two years in a row in 45 years — Adib Alkhalidey returns with Comme les Mongols à Baghdad. In this new show, it's about transmission. Transmission of meaning, knowledge, wounds, fears, contradictions, and impulses that run through an era that sometimes feels like it has lost faith in its own ability to transmit anything. In keeping with his branching thought process, the show unfolds through themes as varied as tax evasion, political corruption, the hell of putting children to sleep, the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, Jesus, or the reality of mixed families. By tackling the most sensitive, intimate, or taboo subjects of our time, Adib Alkhalidey seeks less to provide answers than to reveal what appears when one dares to face certain truths. Driven by a rare freedom of tone — probably amplified by lack of sleep and the questionable honesty of exhausted young parents — the show ends up transforming this chaos into something strangely clear, as if all these scattered branches secretly came from the same tree. Comme les Mongols à Baghdad is a profoundly funny, sometimes brutal, sometimes anxious show, but always driven by a sincere desire to bring together what the era strives to separate.
