Set in 1960s Paris, Monsieur Ibrahim tells the tender and humorous story of Momo, a 12-year-old Jewish boy who befriends the elderly Arab grocer on Rue Bleue to escape a loveless family. But appearances deceive—Monsieur Ibrahim isn’t truly Arab, the street isn’t blue, and ordinary life isn’t so ordinary. The play explores themes of loneliness, hardship, and learning to find joy. Written and performed by its author, the story has been published in 50 countries, adapted into an acclaimed film starring Omar Sharif, and toured globally. After a successful international run, the production now comes to Geneva, where its timeless message resonates strongly in today’s world.
