From “Guerre des boutons” in “Le gone du Chaâba” (Engl. “Shantytown Kid”) to “Guerre des moutons” (t: War of the Mutton), from the conflicts of pimpled youth to fights over sheep that are supposedly slaughtered in the bathtubs of French Muslims: what an unparalleled ascent! As the child of an immigrant family living in the shacks of shanty-towns on the outskirts of Lyon, Azouz Begag rose to become Minister for the Promotion of Equal Opportunities in Paris. The cultural crossover will perform a literary and musical programme with readings, chansons and lots of humour!
