Matrouz – in Arab, what is embroidered – is of oral tradition. Recalling this heritage of judeo-arab culture linked to hebraic, muslim and christian Andalusia, Simon Elbaz got first inspired by this art based on the alternating languages, Arab and Hebrew.<\/p>\n

He could have kept and seen this heritage as an object of nostalgia; instead, he decided te renew it combining the sacred and profane and dealing with the interweaving of:
– languages: Hebrew and Arab for example, with French, Latin, judeo-Spanish\u2026
– music: north Africa and Andalusia, judeo-spanish, oriental, medieval\u2026 \u2026
– diff\u00e9rent ways of expression : music, songs, story-telling and theater which, for the first time, \u00ab goes on stage \u00bb in the Matrouz repertoire.<\/p>\n
