Faith

Club Guy & Roni, one of the leading contemporary dance companies from the Netherlands, will be a guest at the festival for the first time. The company is working with artists from the Global South on their long-term project “HumanOdyssey”. In “Faith”, Club Guy & Roni, together with Moroccan choreographer Khalid Benghrib and his Cie 2k_far and the percussionists of the percussion group HIIIT, bring cultures and world views together. “Faith” is a whirling kaleidoscope of musical and spiritual influences from all over the world, centred around the gifted singer Karima el Fillali, who enters the stage in the opening scene as Madonna with child and unleashes a fast-paced performance between worship, chaos and trance.
