When you sleep you’re not hungry

Le Cri

When you sleep you’re not hungry

Anthony Martine

“When You Sleep You’re Not Hungry” is an Afro-queer medieval tale.
Taking as his starting point his two years of preparatory literary studies at the Lycée Henri IV, Anthony Martine intends to explore the complexities of being Black and queer while having grown up and dreamed as white and heterosexual.

Nothing new under the sun. Nothing new. It's still burning our faces just as much.

Company presentation

The company Le Cri, founded in August 2023 by Fabien Chapeira and Anthony Martine, is based in the 94th district, the department where the two artists grew up.
The company is committed to creating engaged and intersectional queer pop performances. Their uncompromising shows aim to awaken audiences, inviting them to actively participate in the work presented.
Their influences range from Shrek and A Bug's Life to the works of Lagarce, Annie Ernaux, Audre Lorde, and Baldwin.

In the press

"At 27, he has just written his first show, a brilliantly executed piece—he performed it in early October at Théâtre 13 in Paris and will begin a tour in 2026. This energetic social tale mixes references, from his own story to Shrek, from Fanny Ardant to Afro-descendant thinkers ( ... )."

Télérama

"A unique and unexpected piece presented at the Jerk Off Festival at Théâtre 13 , he explodes traditional theatrical conventions with an "Afro-queer medieval tale" that blends genres in a funny and audacious way."
