As part of Les Suds, meet Gaël Faye at the Théâtre Antique!
Whether he applies his writing talents to literature, film or music, his fine pen is unanimously acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. Convinced of the cathartic power of writing, this twirler of words, full of bitterness, wit and love, polishes lucid lyrics chiselled with assonance, alliteration and metaphors as mischievous as they are subtle. With a warmly raging flow that twists the verb and clicks the tongue, he floats down memory lane to a carefree childhood, exorcises the wounds of exile and chronicles our daily lives while questioning the meaning of today's world. And if hope does indeed lie in our ability to form a common humanity, count on his fine stage presence to get the ball rolling!
Winner of the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens in 2016 for Petit Pays; Prix Renaudot and Goncourt selection in 2024 for Jacaranda; platinum-selling Lundi Méchant (to be released at Les Suds in 2021), this writer-rapper-slammer-composer with a host of talented musical collaborators (Flavia Coelho, Baloji, Grand Corps Malade, Melissa Laveaux...) has given French-language rap its finest credentials.
