AKAL

   (The Earth)


Can choreography close the gaps in our historical memory?
In this solo, Mriziga celebrates Neith’s strength in collaboration with the Rwandan choreographer, dancer and singer Dorothée Munyaneza.

Rituals, traditional dances, architecture, storytelling, song, poetry, rap: in Akal, everything comes together in an intimate choreographic space in which a fresh look at a suppressed past makes us dream of a more inclusive future.

AYUR

   (The Moon)



In the 19th century racism, colonialism, anti-Semitism, patriarchy and nationalism were decisive in shaping societies. Every kind of knowledge that did not correspond to the ‘civilized’, was consistently destroyed but these erased narratives still influence our present.

Ayur (The Moon) is the second part of a trilogy that focuses on the semantics and mythologies of the Imazighen, the indigenous populations of North Africa. Ayur/Tanith, goddess associated to the moon in the punic Carthage, is as a solo by and with Tunisian dancer Sondos Belhassen based on texts written by the poet Lilia Ben Romdhane and rapper Mahdi Chammen “Massi”.

TAFUKT

   (The Sun)


What do we retain from history and what mechanisms are involved in sorting it? Many stories were rewritten in the 19th century, while others fell into oblivion, two forms of negation that generate significant power disparities in our system’s current (re)production of knowledge.

Tafukt (The Sun) is the first part of a trilogy that focuses on the semantics and mythologies of the Imazighen, the indigenous populations of North Africa. The goddess Athena, linking the cultures and histories on either side of the Mediterranean basin, lies at the heart of Tafukt (The Sun).

8.2


More info, credits, tour dates

8.2. by choreographer Radouan Mriziga was inspired by an old love: rap music. Along with seven young performers, he researched everything that makes rap unique: the rhythm, the flow, the statements and gestures, and its history from the grandmasters to Kendrick Lamar. In 8.2, they attempt to capture the essence of a style of music that transcends musical trends and survives across generations – and which constantly reinvents itself.

Once again, the relationship between dance, construction and architecture is at the heart of Radoaun Mriziga's work. In a precise and refined choreography, Mriziga confronts the beauty of the moving body with the geometric power of architecture and sculpture.

7 is the third piece and final part of a trilogy produced by Moussem - Nomadic Arts Centre that Radouan Mrziga initiated in 2014 with the creation of his first solo, 55, followed by the group piece 3600 in 2016.
