Meet the artists after the show on 07.06

Ni Ni Ya Mo Mo is a nursery rhyme I grew up with. It’s also the first thought that springs to my mind when I think of my Arab heritage. I’m not talking about Morocco or depicting its culture but rather I’m trying to grasp the traces it has left me.’ With in Ni Ni Ya Mo Mo, which was inspired by the memories of his forefathers and mothers, Guilhem Chatir takes us on a journey of discovery to the places where individuals merge to form a collective. From stadiums, celebrations, markets and protests, he finds his inspiration in popular meeting places, where humans can muster resistance and build a common dream.

Using a circular structure, he deploys a physical medium in a state of perpetual transformation. The dances are inspired by the complex richness of the origins and images that reveal themselves, then disappear, evoke, then endlessly smoulder.


A second show is on offer that evening, at 20:45: REbis 7 by Arco Renz & Danielle Allouma. Combined ticket available.
