The Institut Français d’Égypte is pleased to invite you to the fourth performance of Les Premières: Opera for 1000 Crows (الحجلة) – Ahmed Yunis. This original work presents a transformative performance that dances on the fine line between grief and celebration. This evocative piece weaves together live electronics, haunting cello melodies, visceral vocal expressions, and the innocent soundscape of toys to explore the paradoxical beauty of life and death.

Les Premières is a program designed to support seven new artistic creations by providing rehearsal spaces, production grants, and integration into the Institut français d’Égypte’s monthly programming.
