The madness of maj'noun feeds the fire of his desire, It leads him to the ecstasy of the absence. His body is exhausted in this quest, Will it lead him to her?
"Maj'noun" is a view -both personal and universal-, of a surreal expression, which depicts the body through contemporary dance. It is a free love song, that transcends the limits of language, culture, religion, space and time. It is freely inspired by "Layla Maj'noun" Qays Ibn El Moulawah and "Fou d'Elsa" by Louis Aragon. "Maj'noun" is a Franco-Tunisian short-movie, which brought together seven co-producers of both countries. It was funded by the Arab Fund for Art and Culture (AFAC), the International Organisation of Francophonie (OIF and CIRTEF), the French Institute of Tunisia, the Young-Challenge Awards (Ile-de- France), and which was supported by the laboratory Digimage cinema in Paris.
