In Ajjit, performance artist Khadija El Kharraz Alami and producer Reda shine light on the importance of coming together, commemoration, moving, music and the power of expressing emotions and sharing them. The performance is an invitation to collectively re-animate our pre-capitalist bodies and reflect on and honor lives lost.
Khadija and Reda practice different disciplines but share their rich and complex cultural identity and their love for it. For them, this manifests itself in the polyrhythms which can be found in among others different North African music genres. In Khadija's research on awakening pre-capitalist bodies, she invited Reda to delve into the different musical genres in Morocco. From Ahwach to Gnaoua, Ghaita, Chaabi and Issawa in search of stories, rhythms and movements that celebrate their complexities.
What can the function of the performing arts be in today's collapse of democracy, empires and capitalism beyond the reflection of the times we live in?
