Nora Hamzawi

Nora Hamzawi returns with a third show that takes an intimate look. She uses her relationship as a refuge from the surrounding noise and turns her very current anxieties into material for laughter, straightforwardly. With her eye for detail and punchy lines, she stages the effects of an anxious era on our private lives: the obsession with the news, ever-lengthening mental lists, the pressures to calm down, to do better, to not age. She chronicles everyday life, the little panics that sweep through us and those slightly absurd online searches that reveal a lot, all delivered with a brisk pace and writing that gets to the heart of things.

No grand theories here—rather situations, angles and observations rooted in lived experience, with self-deprecating humor as the guiding thread. You’ll find the gentle tensions of couple life, the overflowing mental load and the need to carve out a bubble to keep going. It’s personal, precise, and crafted to resonate with what everyone carries.

Nora Hamzawi will be at L'Usine - Scenes Et Cines Istres on April 16, 2026 to present this new show, written close to everyday life and its little slip-ups.
