"Tell us what you see"
“Tell me what you see” is a 60-minute concert without intermission that explores the fundamental connections that weave our existence, highlighting our bond with living beings, our relationship with death, and the emotional ties we form with loved ones and communities. Through six works composed over the past ten years, we have selected music that takes us deep into the core of human emotions and experiences.
During the intermission, delightful bites have been carefully prepared by the excellent chef Gauthier Wislet, accompanied by a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic beverage.

POET
Shayma Hamad is a conceptual and performance artist based in Palestine. Shayma holds a degree in Law and focuses her practice on reclaiming her Palestinian culture. She uses food as her medium, diving into traditional practices and deconstructing them to provide a political, social, and legal reading of Palestinian cultural identity. For Shayma, performance and culinary art is a form of resistance and resilience, a celebration of heritage, and a commitment to preserving it for future generations.
