Rabat

Egyptian artist Mohammed Abdelkarim delegates his text We Shall Have a Bon Voyage which will be performed by slam poet Chaimaa Qaouioun and multi-instrumentalist musician Mourad Belouadi on the Bouregreg quay in front of the Art Explora boat.

An electroacoustic concert by Ahmed Essyad and Gilles Aubry at the Salle Gérard Philipe, Institut Français de Rabat. The concert programme highlights the convergence of traditional and avant-garde music in Morocco. Ahmed Essyad's electronic compositions, dating from the 1970s, evoke the popular music heard in Moroccan villages in the late 1950s. Gilles Aubry plays with modular synthesizers and an artificial intelligence sound generator. His piece is inspired by the song L'Makina by Haj Belaïd, a Chleuh raïss (poet-singer) from the 1930s.

As part of the Art Explora festival and in partnership with the Shem'sy national circus school in Salé, the three artists Klara Fontibus, Nassim Azarzar and Aliocha Tazi invite students to take part in the creative process of Act.1_Brise. Students from all disciplines will be able to appropriate the various elements that make up flying (or non-flying) structures, in order to create a choreographic and narrative game. The research carried out during this workshop will be the subject of two open-air public performances.
