Harouda

Description

Who dares speak of this woman? Harouda appears only during the day, and in the evening she vanishes into some corner, far from the city, far from our sight. She renews her pact with the ogre, then gives herself to him… her whole being… and the ogre makes no sound. We remain convinced that she slips away from him in the middle of the night to frequent the rooftops. She guards our sleep. She watches over our dreams. Our fear of encountering her alone controls our mutual desires. …She turns towards us, a complicit smile on her lips. She winks, presses her hands to her breasts, and invites us to drink wisdom; the most insane among us is also the most daring. But the spectacle is different! It is Hassan lifting her dress! We can hardly believe the sight until the curtain falls. As for the rest, it unfolds in our restless nights.
