Mouna & Walid

Theater en toneel

Mouna Laroussi and Walid Benmbarek are back on stage after 17 years. Where their love began. A casual encounter at a casting was the start of a life together. And now they return to that place to play their performance together. But what starts when a collision between two loved ones, in flashy, sharp dialogues, unfolds to a deep -rooted conflict about identity, trust, legacy and the meaning of home.

The performance investigates what it means to build a life together in a country that does not always feel like home. How do you pass on a feeling of land and security to your children, if you are still looking for yourself?

Shared land is a new written stage text by Max Wind, inspired by the personal stories of the actors Mouna Laroussi and Walid Benmbarek. In a mix of humor, love and confrontation, not only a marriage is unraveling, but also the feeling of guidance in a society that is under pressure. They married in 2011 and their twins were born in 2013.

the infiltrant and brothers . For the latter, he was nominated in 2018 for a Golden Calf for best actor. The general public knows him of his role as Adil in the unprecedented popular Mocro Mafia .
