Groupe Acrobatique de Tanger & Maroussia Diaz Verbèke

FIQ! (Réveille-toi!)

Morocco

Human pyramids, motorcycle stunts, tradi­tional Moroccan acrobatics, break dance, Taekwondo – it is no coincidence «FIQ! (Réveille­-toi!)», the new piece by Groupe Acrobatique de Tanger, is a conglomerate of very different elements. This ful­minant circus show is a dialogue between then and now, there and here. With a vibrantly colourful set and music by DJ Dino, «FIQ!» becomes a playful exchange between cultures and generations.

The show is directed by Maroussia Diaz Ver­bèke, who calls her works «circography». With good reason the young director describes her craft with her own term as she has developed her own artistic style. With «FIQ!», she stages a breathtaking show, which also reaches a younger audience.

The humorous integration of social media, football and rap music comes across as naturally as the somersaults of the members of Groupe Ac­robatique de Tanger. The company was founded almost 20 years ago and is in international de­mand – not least thanks to productions such as «Chouf Ouchouf», which was presented at the Theater Spektakel in 2010. (ab)

Simple words

A circus group from Morocco dances and performs acrobatics in this show. It is about the past and today. And also about life there, and life in other places.
