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

Before the performance you can visit the Afrovibes Talk: The North-African diaspora & black identity (see below). You can buy a combination ticket to visit both the talk and the performance.
