“Quand tu sors du feu” or, “When You Leave the Fire”, is a three-hander that is equal parts 1930s cabaret, andalusi music, and téléphone arabe. Ella and her ghosts-- the Tunisian Jewish vocalist Habiba Msika, and her French-Algerian grandfather André-- move through time in many combinations, exploring the violence and pleasure of their close relationships, each shedding light on the dark corners of the other, whether they want that light shed or not. For some, intimacy is less a pure pleasure and more a midnight haunting.

The play had its first developmental workshop with Noor Theater on March 1st 2024 at Theaterlab with Leyla Levi directing and musical direction by Laura Elkeslassy.

Cast and Crew: Leila Ben Abdallah, Laura Elkeslassy, Ramsey Faragallah, Rachid Halihal, Nizar Dahmani, Marwan Allam, Leyla Levi, Aisling Galvin, and Molka Mhéni.
