Melissa Ghazale (Malice)
Sorry, this was meant to be funny
Geneva, Beirut
What are we still allowed to say today? Can the tragedies of our time be turned into a joke? In «Sorry, This Was Meant To BeFunny», Lebanese artist Malice, doesn’t mince words. Moving between sharp humour and biting analysis, the piece combines stand-up comedy with lecture performance. Taking laughter as a political act of resistance, Malice engages with current crises while casting a cynical eye on the art world itself. Who laughs – and why? What remains when laughter becomes a survival strategy? A stand-up tragedy in which laughter catches in your throat.
