Hassan de Monaco, Zalfa Seurat, Aniss El Hamouri

When not on stage, Hassan de Monaco is a nurse anaesthetist at the Princess Grace Hospital. The common thread running through his show: a tribute to his Moroccan parents, his childhood in Monaco and his daily life at the hospital. Between two shifts in the operating theatre, the humorist is performing at the Point Virgule in Paris or on tour throughout France. Hassan de Monaco also talks about his project for a Comedy Club in the Principality.

Over three decades, between 1984 and 2006, two families became entangled in the horrors of the wars between Israel and Lebanon. In "Tel Aviv-Beyrouth " (Tel Aviv-Beirut) the Haifa-born director Michale Boganim recounts the story of the Lebanese who collaborated with the Israelis and now live in exile in northern Israel. The actress Zalfa Seurat, who has a personal connection with Lebanon, plays the leading role of Tanya.

Born in Morocco, settled in Belgium since 2007, graduate of the Liege Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Aniss El Hamouri is amongst those officially selected for the Angoulême International Comics Festival. Volume 1 of his existentialist saga "Ils Brûlent" (They Burn), published by 6 Pieds Sous Terre), features three teenagers lost in a hostile land: Georg, Ongle and Pluie.
