Their workshop, structured around different moments of introduction and musical practice, is dedicated to Guadeloupean dance through the Toumblack, one of the major rhythms of the Gwo-ka repertoire. Highly popular, the Toumblack is today one of the most widely practiced rhythms and one of the most immediately accessible to audiences. Marked by its energy and its unifying power, it naturally invites dancing and exchange between the drummers (tambouyé), singers, and dancers. Its vitality and festive spirit make it a true gateway to discovering the Gwo-ka.

Youth is a time of big questions, of grand – and sometimes conflicting – desires, a storm of intense, raw and sincere emotions. An age that passes… without ever truly leaving. Théâtre on Demand is a unique experience every single time!

Urok Shirhan (NL/Iraq), aka UROK, is an Athens-based artist, researcher and DJ working at the intersection of performance, visual arts and critical theory. UROK’s DJ sets unfold a polyglot club sound—where Arab, Latinx and Brazilian rhythms meet leftfield techno and deconstructed bass, blending sweet pop melodies with dark percussive drums. Throughout the Festival, during hours without live programming, the venue’s speakers will transmit the Radio Alhara broadcast. 

The installation investigates how rhythm and sonic texture can be diverted, slowed down, or distorted through frequencies and vibrations. Eight metallic column-speakers, arranged in a circle, create a field of intensity where the dancer’s body responds to the force of sound upon a minimal marble platform. The work forms part of Panos Charalambous’s ongoing research into the expressions of popular culture in the Balkans and the Mediterranean, re-examining their forms in the present and within the specific context of Piraeus.
