Rabat

The inaugural evening of the Rabat edition takes place in front of the Art Explora boat, on the Bouregreg quay near the ancient Kasbah des Oudayas. A musical evening of traditional Moroccan Âita and Abidat Errma, with Andalusian flamenco taking center stage in front of the museum boat.

Ayman El Gadi, an artist invited by the Mohawalat collective for the first edition of the Art Explora festival in Tangier, invites his father to take him on a tour of Salé, to discover the ancient city's main historic sites of Maghrebo-Andalusian origin, which are not always accessible to tourists or well known to local residents.

Eart_ض is a collaborative research project developed by Zaira Oram collective (CH) & QANAT collective (MA), and taking place between Switzerland and Morocco in exchange with Palestine. The research project arose from a necessary reflection on the present time. Today, an increasing number of people have a residual relationship with the earth, because of the hectic times we live in and because of still expanding centralized urban spaces that often do not welcome nature. Our society is increasingly losing its roots, the practice of listening between human beings and between humankind and the earth is lacking. The increasing loss of the memory of rurality distances us from an ancient wisdom, which still remains the heritage of a few.

As part of the Art Explora festival and in partnership with the Shems'y National Circus School in Salé, artists Klara Fontibus, Nassim Azarzar, and Aliocha Tazi invite students to participate in the creation process of Act.1_Brise. Students from all disciplines will be able to explore the various elements used to compose flying (or fixed) structures in order to develop a choreographic and narrative performance. The research conducted during this workshop will culminate in two public outdoor performances.
