Sound study

It is a choreography in the form of a "sound study," where Dridri transforms everyday repetitive gestures and actions into dance. He choreographs the memories carried by the body. Under Dridri's movements, working bodies emerge a gesture, a colourful scarf, a voice, a melody. He connects fragments of memories—from his family, the Middle East and Egypt, the rhythms and colours of his childhood and adolescence—with his Arab roots and a tribute to Tunis. His timeless hip-hop is enhanced by music, a mix of industrial sounds, funk, and traditional songs that touch the most sensitive emotions.

Preface: Afrovibes conversation
