We’re delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with PSYCHEdelight theatre company in support of the national tour of their latest play Mohand & Peter, recently seen at our Platforma festival.

A backflip in time, a quick hop back home: with humour and visual poetry Mohand & Peter will take you on a road trip through Sudan. The two brave clowns bounce on one of the toughest international news of the decade and fight horror with laughter to build a magnificent pedestal for Mohand’s home country.

“Every day for the past 5 years since we created Borderline, I witnessed how much my cast miss their homes. I saw pictures of beautiful lakes, mountains, and ancient buildings; Videos of family gatherings, birthdays, and silly cats. I Facetimed brothers, sisters, but also nieces and nephews. Those kids that we spoil at weekends but that the people I work with have never held in their arms because they are not allowed to go back. Not for a wedding, not for a funeral, never. Their country is not just a war zone or a Talibans’ nest, it’s their homes. With Mohand & Peter, we aim to celebrate them.”

Sophie Bertrand Besse, Director
