HIGHLIGHTS: BORBORYGMUS by Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué et Mazen Kerbaj

Lina Majdalanie and Rabih Mroué, two of the leading names in contemporary theatre, join forces with musician and visual artist Mazen Kerbaj to create a daring and disconcerting show: Borborygmus. Taking to the stage at the Théâtre Silvia Monfort, the trio deliver a visceral, cathartic performance that explores the depths of the human soul with zeal and passion.

 

The show takes its name from the intestinal noises, the “gurgles” that can translate our states of hunger, digestion and emotions. Like these borborygmi, the three artists invite us to explore the meanders of their thoughts, their reflections on the world, their memories and their broken dreams.

 

Borborygmus is a form of open self-portrait, in which the artists unfurl themselves, revealing their flaws, their frustrations and their hopes. They plunge us into their daily lives as Lebanese exiles in Berlin, confronted with the realities of life and injustice.
The show is an outcry against our times, with the trio denouncing the excesses of capitalism, wars and the rise of nationalism. They invite us to reflect on our own choices, our responsibilities and the future of humanity.

 

On stage, the trio use every medium to transport us into their world: theatre, music and video. Sound, light and images create an immersive, cathartic atmosphere that lets us experience the artists' emotions from the inside.

 

Necessary and thought-provoking, Borborygmus will leave you breathless, a little unsettled and surely questioning the world around you.
