AYUR

This is the second part in a trilogy by choreographer Radouan Mriziga focusing on the knowledge of the Amazigh, the indigenous people of North Africa.

Ayur is a solo dance performance by Sondos Belhassen, inspired by the ancient Carthaginian moon goddess Tanit. As a guardian of long lost wisdom, she dances in and through a special dome and recites texts by poet Lili Ben Romdhane and rapper Mahdi Chammen. In a silver-coloured, fine-spun network of dance, text, and architecture, she evokes the past and simultaneously looks to a more inclusive future.
