Events Description
Ismaël Mouaraki explores trance with a group of male dancers in his new creation, drawing inspiration from Lila ceremonies, mystical and musical traditional celebrations from his native Morocco. Through them, he also retraces his own journey in front of the audience.
In Arabic, “lila” means “night.” These ceremonies are a set of nocturnal healing rituals that blend singing, dancing, and music, traditionally found in some North African countries. Ismaël transposes the rites and codes of these dance rituals onto the stage, while infusing his signature contemporary urban dance style to reveal the sensitivity and sensuality of the male body. Tinted with the tastes and colours of Morocco, the artists transform the performance into a true celebration where the exaltation of bodies unfolds through contagious energy.
