Ce que le Ventre Dit

Between slam, rap and performed poetry, What the Belly Says transforms words into beats, into struggle, into vital momentum. The belly knows better than the head, it doesn't cheat, doesn't lie. Lisette Lombé is a Belgian and Congolese poet and slammer.

Marc Nammour is a Franco-Lebanese rapper, author and actor. These two children of the projects share poetry in common and rage in their bellies.

Together, they invent a living, physical and sensitive language to make their stories, angers, desires and heritages resound loud and clear, in an intense and deeply embodied piece.

Carried by the powerful and organic electro musical creation of Jérôme Boivin, the show oscillates between concert, poetic performance and bodily challenge. Deep basses, chiseled rhythmics, suspended silences—the music accompanies the texts like an inner pulse.

A raw and luminous journey, where the intimate meets the political, from which you emerge moved, vibrating, profoundly alive.
