Tangier

The Spanish residents selected for the Art Explora cross-residency programme present a final performance after a month of research and creation. The two artists' work explores how the sounds of traditional flamenco can be integrated into contemporary urban landscapes and spaces as sites for experimentation and critical reflection. The performance will be inspired by the myth and song of the mermaid; as a transmitter of a sense of dislocation - a freshwater mermaid who has no place in a strange yet familiar landscape.

For this evening's tribute to Ahmed Bouanani, a major artistic figure and fervent defender of transmission and memory against oblivion, we'll be screening his two fiction films: "Les quatre sources", his short film in color, a dreamlike poetic essay, followed by the masterpiece and only feature film Le Mirage. Both explore the realms of folk tale and myth.
