On the night of the red moon, a newly arrived prisoner is chosen to become the Pr*son’s “Roman”, a storyteller tasked with entertaining the population until dawn. If he fails, he will be killed.To survive, he begins narrating the mythical life of Zama King, a legendary outlaw, drawing the prisoners into a living performance where story, memory, fantasy, and reality blur. As the night unfolds, tensions rise within the Pr*son hierarchy, power struggles intensify, and the fate of both storyteller and audience hangs in the balance.Rooted in the tradition of West African griot storytelling and oral tradition, the film reflects a cultural practice in which history, myth, performance, and collective memory are preserved through spoken word, performance, and communal participation.What to expectFilm screeningPost-film discussionLa Nuit des rois will be in French and Dyula, with English subtitles. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/la-nuit-des-rois-night-of-the-kings-directed-by-philippe-lacôte/100001983213234170 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art, fine-arts, spoken-word, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Nest - Community Centre - **lat**: 51.49761100000001 - **long**: 0.1230614 - **full address**: The Nest - Community Centre, Cygnet Square, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: La Nuit des rois (Night of the Kings) directed by Philippe Lacôte - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/e8d7b48ea150e660806a6a702ab6aec229028ac466f098aa76d9b71d2c34363f-rimg-w1200-h675-dc060402-gmir.jpg?v=1771406316 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is La Nuit des rois (Night of the Kings) directed by Philippe Lacôte being held? - **A:** La Nuit des rois (Night of the Kings) directed by Philippe Lacôte takes place on Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Nest - Community Centre, Cygnet Square, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing La Nuit des rois (Night of the Kings) directed by Philippe Lacôte? - **A:** La Nuit des rois (Night of the Kings) directed by Philippe Lacôte is organized by Thamesmead African Film Club. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
