Aïta - Adam Chakir

In the organizer's words:

As part of his residency at the EISFABRIK, Adam Chakir will be showing first impressions of his play. The premiere will take place in May.

A solo journey through memory, resistance and cultural renewal

A powerful dance theater about oppression, resistance and the search for one's own voice. Inspired by Moroccan Aïta music - at once a cry against injustice and a celebration of resilience - the performer embarks on a physical journey to break through patterns of oppression.
The body becomes a stage of struggle - it bears the traces of historical and social constraints, but is also an instrument of rebellion. A haunting interplay of movement, ritual and sound unfolds between tradition and modernity, personal history and collective heritage.
Aïta is an outcry against silence, a dance of rebellion and a tribute to those who had the courage to raise their voices - then and now.
