KAY ! LETTRES À UN POÈTE DISPARU

"KAY! Lettres à un poète disparu", a show combining music, visual creation and readings, is a posthumous correspondence between two authors separated by a century, but who talk about common subjects: their place as black men in society, and Marseille, the world-city par excellence.

Lamine Diagne, through the prism of his own history as a mixed-race Franco-Senegalese, pays tribute to Claude McKAY and questions otherness, anchoring and the mobility of humanity, which has become a way of inhabiting the world.

"KAY! was born of the encounter between Matthieu Verdeil, director of a documentary on the writer, and Lamine Diagne, author, storyteller and jazz musician, and their shared passion for Claude McKAY.
