Afrovibes Performance: Act(s) and Sweats
This performance is part of Afrovibes Festival, which takes place on October 11 and 12 in De Balie, with a line-up of performances and talks. 'Act(s) and Sweats' is the last part of a triptych in which Tunisian choreographer Hamdi Dridri pays tribute to the hard-working body.

Sound study
It is a choreography in the form of a 'sound study' in which Dridri transforms everyday repetitive gestures and actions into dance. He choreographs what the body carries with it as memory. Under Dridri's gestures, subtly working bodies appear: a movement, a colorful scarf, a voice, a melody. He connects fragments of memories - of his family, the Middle East and Egypt, the rhythms and colors of his childhood and adolescence - with his Arab roots and a tribute to Tunis. His timeless hip-hop is reinforced by the music, a mix of industrial sounds, funk and traditional songs, which touches the most sensitive emotions.
Preface: Afrovibes conversation
