Participatory Performance

© Pierre Gondard

TARAB is a participatory piece for 6 dancers, 1 live-act composer and 100 ‘accomplices’. 

Choreographer Eric Minh Cuong Castaing invites us to a participatory celebration, under the guidance of artists from the countries of the Levant. He invites musician Rayess Bek and six dancers from the Palestinian, Lebanese and Egyptian diasporas, invoking the lively rhythms and dances of the Levant. For several hours, amateur dancers will rub shoulders with the professionals on stage, guided by choreographic protocols. 

The dabke, a folk dance from the Levant, will take pride of place, in a game of transmission and shared joy.

A Polyphony of Perspectives

© Louka Van Roy

Magec / the Desert is the second part of a new trilogy by Radouan Mriziga, inspired by mythological stories from the Amazigh culture, and in particular those who have a close relationship with the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, in terms of spirituality, art, philosophy, craft, and science.

In his work, Mriziga continues his practice of collective creation, where rhythm, text, movement, and sound become interwoven through the contributions of his collaborators. The choreography unfolds as a polyphony of perspectives, where individual experiences intersect to form a shared, multifaceted vision. Like the layered textures of the desert, the performance resists singularity, instead offering a complexity that is at once intellectual and deeply sensory.

A Different Image of Palestine

© Kurt Van der Elst

Badke(remix) is a remake of the dance performance created by Koen Augustijnen, Rosalba Torres and Hildegard De Vuyst. With 10 Palestinian dancers, Badke toured worldwide between 2013 and 2016. The reissue of Badke is now artistically in Palestinian hands, namely Amir Sabra and Ata Khatab, and becomes Badke(remix).

The title is a conscious reversal of dabke, the name of the Palestinian folk dance and the starting point of the performance. With backgrounds in traditional dabke, contemporary dance, hip-hop, capoeira or circus, the Palestinian performers bring a contemporary version of this dance traditionally reserved for (wedding) parties. Badke(remix) displays a zest for life and passion for dancing as a form of resistance.
