Newroz means new day in Kurdish. To the sound of the oud, Bahoz Temaux invites us to an evening of circus storytelling, taking the time to tell a story — his story. Every life is different. Every individual is different. Through a series of anecdotes, from childhood to adulthood and fatherhood, Bahoz Temaux recounts the everyday life of a man of colour confronted with everyday racism.

Part acrobatic and musical stand-up, Newroz reveals carefully chosen slices of life in which human absurdity sometimes gives way to hasty judgement. Bringing together music, circus and a generous dose of humour, with simplicity and without bitterness, Newroz takes on the immense task of fostering tolerance.

This performance in Newroz is a rescheduled performance from June 25th, part of the Metropolitan Tour, which was cancelled due to the heatwave.
