Presentation

Bouchra Ouizguen invites local amateurs to reflect with her on questions close to her heart, such as the other, the part of strangeness that resides within each of us, the bonds that unite us, and forgetting. With them, the Moroccan choreographer explores the depths of the human being, examining the cultural manifestations we all carry within us and which shape us. Following in the wake of her sound sculpture performance Corbeaux, she works on erasure to follow new leads, celebrating diversity as a precious gift. A participatory performance that takes shape in the courtyard of the palais des Papes.
