Cancelled - Jawla - Poetic and sensory wandering by the Irtijal company
The Irtijal company proposes a journey through palimpsest places at sunset, from the banks of the Bouregreg to the Ben Aïcha foundouk. Jawla is an invitation to walk together. A poetic and sensory journey, a journey through places where everyone is invited to collect, assemble and recreate bits of history.
It all starts with a disembarkation. Nezha Rhondali and Houda Hissar, with the Irtijal company, invite you to step ashore, then let yourself be guided.
What's true, what's false, what's wonderful? Who decides where the line is drawn, who separates fantasy from truth?
Let's meet at sunset. Then listen to the stories of our places, full of tales and whispers. Each of these stories is a thread, and each of these threads is a myth. Then let's make the gesture of knotting thread to thread, entangled.
Nezha Rhondali, performer, choreographer and teacher. She chooses as her playground what "already exists", she likes to reveal the invisible and invite the public to question their everyday lives. From contemplation to surveying public spaces, she draws her inspiration from the city and its inhabitants. In 2013, she founded the In situ dance and performance company, Irtijal, in which she builds bridges between research and creation. Since 2022, she has been artistic director of Tassarout, a hybrid space for artistic, cultural and social experimentation, located in the Foundouk Ben Aïcha in Rabat's medina, an area historically dedicated to crafts.
Houda Hissar is an urban planner. Her work has taken her to a variety of places (Morocco, France, Egypt, Algeria...), and she is particularly interested in informal and precarious housing, colonial urbanism, local practices and so-called working-class neighborhoods.
From 2011 to 2017, she was part of the Capacités collective ("the city by all and for all"). Today, her work increasingly addresses the issue of vulnerability and the diversity of urban realities. She writes and has been published in magazines (Asameena, Pourtant, Nous voulons lire), and is currently building a research-creation project around places.
Nezha and Houda are both from the diaspora, but have been living in Morocco for the past ten years. They share common questions based on their respective practices. Through this poetic stroll, they establish a new dialogue between themselves, in which bodies, places, space and historicity come into play.
