After taking part at the 2018 Festival with May he rise and smell the fragrance, Ali Charour is back in Napoli with a new work. Night (Layl) refers to the stories engraved in the cultural memory of the East and Mesopotamia, of lovers that have challenged social and religious systems, and whose bodies have been punished and condemned to bear the suffering of separation, living merely in the weak hope of one day re-finding each other.
