La Commune, centre dramatique national d’Aubervilliers and The Festival d’Automne à Paris present this Carte Blanche in co-production.
Libya, the third piece by Moroccan choreographer Radouan Mriziga to be performed at this year's Festival d'Automne, explores the notion of 'knowing', in which eight dancers and a series of lines on the floor seem to trace the trajectories of a constellation of movements that we are about to observe.
Libya celebrates the Amazigh heritage of the Maghreb, where crafts, science, culture and philosophy are passed on through language, stories, dance and song. Radouan Mriziga has conceived this show as a contemplative landscape, amplified by tarab music. Made up of long temporalities, intensity and restrained emotionality, tarab implies a particular kind of listening: getting lost and letting yourself be carried away. Libya applies this same sense of abandonment to dance and the unknown. Halfway between performance and dance, the choreographer transforms dance into a landscape of stories. He honours and shares the Amazigh heritage, in which the song passed down between them becomes the element that unites them.
