Bouchra Ouizguen & Compagnie O
Ha!
Nominated for the ZKB Audience Prize 2016
Nominated for the ZKB Patronage Prize 2016
Inspired by poems of the Persian sufi poet Rumi, the young choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen explores the theme of madness. This «excess of reason» — locked away whenever possible in Western societies — is fully integrated in Arabian cultures. Ouizguen is supported by four traditional Aïtas — night-club singers who are both glorified and scorned in Morocco. In her spartan choreography, dance singing and rhythm are filtered through the strong physical presence of those women who have lived and learnt. A fascinating universe of madness which conveys the healing power of obsession. (esc)
