Abdelkader Secteur « Marhaba »

Abdelkader Secteur returns to Avignon on April 19, 2026, on the Confluence Spectacles Avignon stage with his third show, Marhaba. A comedian with a precise narrative, he presents a text performed in colloquial Arabic. He draws on the small contradictions of everyday life, childhood landmarks and nods to his roots, delivering a controlled pace and a strong stage presence.

In Marhaba he strings together anecdotes and character sketches, moving between family, travel and contemporary realities, and establishes a direct rapport with the audience. The show is performed exclusively in colloquial Arabic, with a keen sense of rhythm and detail that provokes shared laughter. Without unnecessary effects, he prioritizes closeness and attentive listening, creating a piece tailored for the stage that balances a living language with observations of the present. It’s an opportunity to see Abdelkader Secteur again in Avignon and to discover this new artistic phase with Marhaba.
