Dance: "Éléphant"
In "Éléphant", Bouchra Ouizguens pursues the artist's exanimation and questioning of the power and physicality of the body in its ritualistic daily presence, its thriving, and its hurt. Éléphant is a fragmented collective body that is traversed by the movements of the performers, singers and musicians who lend their voices and identities. This body that oscillates between strength and fragility, evokes the ephemeral nature of the present. Swinging between brilliance and simplicity, differences and harmony are magnified, revealing the precious and subversive character in the individual and in the collective. In this choreography of voices, Ouizguen, who is one of the main figures of contemporary dance in Morocco, looks into the ancient roots of her home country and develops a dance that fills the present with new life and hope.
After the performance, a Q&A will be held with the choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen.
Part of the Culturescapes festival 2023.
