Le Peuple plot

“Le Peuple” pays tribute to Kateb Yacine by staging excerpts from his two most important plays: “Le Cadavre Encerclé” and “Mohamed Prends Ta Valise”. Fifty years later, Mahfoud Lakroune, the playwright’s favorite actor, returns to the stage with young actors in Béjaia (Algeria) against the backdrop of the revolutionary atmosphere of the Hirak movement and in Paris, shortly after Nahel’s death. As Mahfoud reflects on Kateb Yacine, the present and the past become intertwined.
