Afrovibes: Moving Beyond

Joint project

The 4th edition of the Moving Beyond project will take place in 2024. In this edition, Utrecht composer and musician Mohamed Allati will work as artist-in-resident together with Dutch spoken word artist Nicole Kaandorp, Dutch philosopher and writer Khadija Al Mourabit, and Moroccan singer-songwriter Lina Charif to create the performance Moving Beyond: Mimount 'N Serwan.

The Rif singer Mimount 'N Serwan is one of the few Moroccan performing artists who managed to win over a large audience in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s within a society with an ambivalent attitude towards performing arts. Based on her lyrics and life story, Al Mourabit and Kaandorp create poetry and a story that takes the audience back to the Rif through the eyes of Mimount 'N Serwan.
