Afrovibes: Moving Beyond
In 'Moving Beyond: Mimount 'N Serwan' Dutch and Tamazight alternate. Allati and Charif combine poetry with music and play to investigate what happens when makers from their different perspectives and cultural contexts work together.
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.
