TARAB
Cie Shõnen
With Nadim Bahsoun, Rima Baransi, Éric Minh Cuong Castaing, Mohand Qader, Nancy Naser Al Deen, Mohanad Smama and the participation of dancers from French-speaking Switzerland
TARAB is a physical and sensory dive into the contemporary musical and poetic culture of Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine – a collective, immersive celebration that is open to all.
At the invitation of Eric Minh Cuong Castaing, musician Rayess Bek joins forces with dancers from Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine, to reinterpret Sous Influence, a piece from the Shōnen company’s repertoire. Together, they create a multi-hour dance marathon where audiences of all ages and backgrounds are invited to join the dance floor alongside professional performers and a hundred or so local amateurs. Guided by choreographic and relational protocols, the participants move to vibrant rhythms, honouring the spirit and energy of Dabke dance.
