SUMMARY:Ihsane: Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève + Eastman
DESCRIPTION:For the creation of Ihsane\, Moroccan-Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui immersed himself in the Moroccan legacy of his father\, in a personal search for identity and connectedness. The bodies of the dancers\, fluid and powerful\, embody both the search for self and the universality of human bonds. \nTransposing the dreams and memories of the choreographer’s childhood in Tangiers\, the stage is bathed in subdued light. Labyrinthine and voluptuous set design\, dancers in Berber-inspired voluminous costumes\, and the rich sonic textures of live music by Tunisian musician Jasser Haj Youssef and Lebanese singer Fadia Tomb El-Hage\, evoke a contemporary Morocco between past and present. \nIn Arabic\, Ihsane means to do good and instill beauty. In Islam\, it refers to a form of communion with the universe. These multiple readings infuse the inspiration for Ihsane\, a work that embraces the spectator from the very first scene. \nDid you know?  \nIn this large-scale production\, 16 dancers from Le Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève are joined on stage by 4 musicians\, 2 singers and 3 from Sidi Larbi’s own company Eastman. \nWith Ihsane\, NAC Dance has presented 12 works by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui since 2003. \nInteresting fact\nCostumes are by celebrated Moroccan fashion designer Amine Bendriouich\, who elevates traditional forms of Berber clothing beyond norms and gender.
