Peeping Tom’s
Next Chapter

© Sanne De Block

Among the immortal, each act (and each thought) is an echo of those who anticipated it in the past or the faithful omen of those who, in the future, will repeat it to the point of vertigo. – Jorge Luis Borges

Five figures are trapped in a temporal maze, mutating and colliding in an attempt to defy immortality. Their existence takes place in a vast sulfuric landscape, unfolding in a series of chronicles. Is this landscape the ground for new creations, or made out of remnants of what once existed?

Confronted with different laws and physical phenomena, their bodies reveal other behaviors and possibilities of being, without knowing if they are at the twilight or dawn of their existence. We are witnessing a bodily metamorphosis in an abyssal and poetic dimension.

Chroniques unveils the next chapter in Peeping Tom’s universe.

Carmen by
Tunis Opera Ballet

© David Bonnet

Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” is one of the most famous operas in the world. Still, in Tunisia, it was shown for the very first time in February 2024 – and then as a choreographic opera with the ballet ensemble at the Tunis Opera House. Abou Lagraa, the choreographer, has been working with North African artists for many years. As the child of Algerian and Egyptian parents, his dance roots are, for once, not in hip-hop, but in contemporary dance, including with S.O.A.P., Rui Horta’s legendary Frankfurt company.

In order to find his emotions that underlie the famous arias, Lagraa opted for a sparse, almost minimalist production. For him, the title character not only represents the idolized, teasing seductress, but above all freedom until death. Carmen is the romantic concept of an emancipated woman – a woman who poses a danger to men. Lagraa’s interpretation of the plot draws on the oriental perspective of the story. He deliberately portrays a Carmen of the nomads, the Berbers, and ancient North African people. The choreography oscillates in wave movements, reminiscent of the power of the Mediterranean Sea that unites the Maghreb and Europe.
