Radouan Mriziga: Atlas / The Mountain

In his latest solo performance, choreographer Radouan Mriziga takes us to the Atlas Mountains. In a ritual performance, he sheds light on the different layers of meaning surrounding the famous mountain. As a symbolic, romantic place in our imagination. As a difficult-to-access place and a refuge in times of war. As a door to heaven, as a connection to the Sacred.

Mriziga’s embodiment of a variety of polymorphic figures becomes a gateway: these half-human, half-animal creatures form mysterious, occult forces that lead us to the distant peaks of the Atlas. At the same time, they also reveal Mriziga’s investigation into the knowledge and practices of the Amazigh culture, in which his own roots lie. Various traditions, clothing, music, dances, and instruments are discussed while Mriziga follows the abstract stage lines that are now familiar from his practice, that refer to the geometry of Muslim architecture.
