Malek Akhmiss - Actor
"I have known Ben Jalloun for a long time and what I like about him most is that he goes to practically all the performances in the theatre.
I play the part of SEM, a Moroccan Jew who is going to emigrate to Israel and who is a transvestite.
He's a transvestite who used to be a mattress maker but became an act at a fair. You still see it today at fairs, they have men in make-up and women's clothing who sing and dance to make the gamblers raise their bets.
When Hassan Ben Jalloun offered me the part I was very interested because I like roles that are difficult and complex, they give me a chance to go deep into a character and play it as well as I can."
