Cliché is the collection of homophobic and racist stereotypes that shape who we are—both those we embrace and those we resist. Hakim Bouacha returns with a one-man show that pokes fun at everything and everyone, showcasing the full extent of his immense talent as an actor.
A biting one-man show, featuring a cast of characters as funny as they are revealing, blending rap, Beyoncé and Mylène Farmer.
