BOUGE B 2014 / wo 23 apr 2014

Judith Sánchez Ruíz & Edivaldo Ernesto

There is a name for it 

20 uur / podium rode zaal

 

You may have seen Judith Sánchez Ruíz at work in deSingel before, in a production by Trisha Brown. Now she is our guest with her own work, a duet she made with Edivaldo Ernesto. For this piece both the dancers sought out their roots. She is from Cuba, he is from Mozambique. In addition to differences, they also discovered strikingly similar qualities in their cultures of origin. 'There is a name for it' is the result of the artistic exchanges between two absolutely first-rate dancers and their shared quest for what dance today actually means, across the boundaries of culture. It is a duet full of power, vitality and fire. Judith Sánchez Ruíz started her dance training in Havana at the age of eleven. She now lives in Berlin, where she has been a member of the Sasha Waltz Company since 2012. Edivaldo Ernesto has been a member of that same company since 2007. He initially trained in traditional Mozambican dance. 

 

Meryem Jazouli - L'Aaroussa

21 uur 30 / inkomhal deSingel

 

Meryem Jazouli studied dance in Paris but returned to Morocco, her native country, to continue her artistic practice. She now lives in Casablanca, where she founded Darja, a place for creation, residencies, training and experiment. She takes the inspiration for her work from the culture and living conditions of her own country. At BOUGE B she will be performing a short solo piece called 'L'Aaroussa', which means 'bride' in Moroccan. You see a moving sculpture that seems to make time stand still. In the midst of the high-spirited sounds of a distant wedding party, Jazouli makes minimal movements that lodge in your memory. Her hand movements are somewhere between prayer and devotion, solemnity and improvisation. This is a warm, intimist performance that displays great inner strength. Your ticket admits you to all the performances on that one evening.
