Le Beau Bizarre #79 🇬🇧 with Khalid Abdalla

In Geneva, at the Festival de la Bâtie, Khalid Abdalla presented Nowhere for the first time with French subtitles. Neither confession nor monument, but an “anti-biography,” this solo unfolds as an act of resistance against linear narratives and fixed identities. On stage, the intimate becomes political cartography: Tahrir Square and its echoes, counter-revolutions, the ongoing Nakba, the unbearable awareness of a genocide unfolding in the present. With deliberate restlessness, Abdalla shapes a fractured form that refuses to smooth over the violence of the world. Nowhere summons “political ghosts,” embraces vulnerability as strength, and opens a ritual space where memory, responsibility, and action contend for visibility. In this conversation for Le Beau Bizarre, Khalid Abdalla shares the genealogy of the piece and what it makes possible: a way of living and speaking when everything around us insists on silence.
