When I am speaking, who is speaking ? How can one find the right word ? When you are speaking, to whom are you speaking ? How does one cry when one is wild with laughter ? How can one drag his mother by the hair without her suffering from it ? How is criminal pulsion generated ? How does one not get crazy when one is driven into a corner ?…Can one become oneself while being in someone elses place ? SPEAK UP (Takallam in Arabic) is the actor’s and his double’s initiatory journey under the eye, neither gentle nor hard, of the master, the ” ferry-man”.
