Kawa – Solo à deau

Saturday, Apr 23, 2011
7:00pm -> 8:00pm
BIPOD 2011: The Arab Dance Platform 2nd Edition

Pausing in the shadow of an improbable vision of awakening, Aïcha M’Barek and Hafiz Dhaou extract themselves from the obstacles of production and its economic necessities. They choreographed the solo together in search of the beginning of this energy. The accumulation of 1000 white cups that litter the ground proposes an immediate reading of time and space:
“Coffee, the first cup of coffee, is the mirror of the hand, the hand that turns the drink; coffee is decryption of the open book of the soul, seer of secrets that the day contains.” Mahmoud Darwich in A Memory to Oblivion.

Hafiz Dhaou and Aicha M’Barek – Cie. Chatha:
Aïcha M’Barek and Hafiz Dhaou create works that link the images of their bipolar courses. Aïcha trained at the Ballet Theatre Of Tunis, CNDC Angers-France and CCN Montpellier, where Hafiz was evolved in E.x.e.r.c.e. In 2005 they founded their company CHATHA. They have created several works: Telegram (solo) 2002, Zenzena (duet) 2004, Khallini Aich (quartet) 2006, Khaddem Hazem (quintet) and VU 2008, that have been danced in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia. In 2010, they created Kawa, solo for two; and in January 2011, at the invitation of CCN Ballet de Lorraine/
Nancy, France, they created Un des Sens for 28 dancers.
