Adib Alkhalidey performs Comme les Mongols à Baghdad at Théâtre Maisonneuve in Montreal on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 January 2027. Both performances begin at 20:00. La Tribu presents this French-language show about what people pass on to one another.

Family, history and uncomfortable questions

The material explores the transmission of knowledge, fears, wounds and contradictions. Parenting, blended families, tax evasion and political corruption share space with references to Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. Following Québécois Tabarnak and Des putes et des voleurs, Alkhalidey connects intimate concerns with wider social questions. The listed duration is 90 minutes without an interval.
