Marcel Khalifé | Sold-Out

About

Lebanese composer, singer and oud player Marcel Khalifé, regarded as Palestinian in Palestine and Lebanese in southern Lebanon, sees himself above all as an Arab musician. Accompanied by his oud, the traditional companion of poetry, he brings to the Festival des Libertés the emotion of his masterpiece Promises of the Storm, a magnificent interpretation of the poems of Mahmoud Darwish. Nearly fifty years after its creation, the work still calls on us to continue, intensify and never abandon the struggle against violations of rights and freedoms.

What to expect

Expect a charged, committed crowd. Arriving on the early side buys you the good spots. Energy is the product. Pace yourself; the peak comes later than you think.

The essentials

Entry is cheap or free, and the event runs Mon 20:30. You'll find it at Théâtre National - Grande Salle — the surrounding blocks carry the same energy, so the night doesn't have to end at one address.
