For a long time, my inner voice has accompanied me challenging me, and at times, tormenting me. This internal dialogue, sometimes kind, sometimes destructive, shapes my choices, emotions, and perception of the world.
Follower is a choreographic creation that explores this duality: between control and freedom, between struggle and surrender. Through movement, the piece gives form to this invisible force that lives within each of us one that, depending on its intensity, can either guide us or imprison us.

Duration of the performance: 40mins
Choreographer: Karima EL Aidaoui
Performers: Ilias Chorbi, Mohamed Lamine Fettah
Set Scenography: Karima EL Aidaoui
Sound creator: Omar Chakor

Mektoub is a solo dance and music performance that explores a fundamental question: Is marriage a personal choice, or a destined path imposed by fate (Mektoub)?
Through the language of the body, the piece delves into the intimate emotions and sensitivities of women, responding to the tensions surrounding age, marriage, and the cultural, social, and familial pressures of traditional Moroccan society.
It invites reflection on how these constraints shape women’s life paths and influence their sense of identity.

Duration of the performance: 45min
