About the event
Souleymane is an asylum seeker from Guinea living in Paris, forced to join the daily rush for a bed in a homeless shelter. Unable to work legally, he earns some money by ‘renting’ someone else’s work profile on a food delivery app. He also pays a fellow Guinean to coach him in a false story seen as more likely to pass an imminent asylum review. But it’s clear Souleymane’s true home situation is taking a constant emotional toll as he navigates the streets of Paris alone.
Anchored by an extraordinary lead performance from Abou Sangaré, Souleymane's Story is a raw, compassionate and quietly devastating story about one man forced to live precariously on the fringes of society.
