The 16-member Moroccan troupe captivates its audience by skillfully blending traditional acrobatic routines with dance, martial arts, and even freestyle football moves. This unique and innovative performance combines different artistic elements to provide a spectacular and immersive experience for its audience.
By revisiting both acrobatics and dance, the troupe members move in harmony with carefully selected music to complement their act. Their goal is to modernize traditional Moroccan acrobatics while preserving their ancestral culture.
Sanae El Kamouni-Lakmaïs, director of the Tangier Acrobatic Group, emphasizes the importance of preserving this art and protecting this ancestral heritage from disappearing. According to her, Moroccan acrobatics is a jewel of Moroccan culture and a precious cultural heritage to be preserved.
The troupe’s artists include acrobats, dancers, football freestylers, and a taekwondo athlete. For Hamza Naciri, a traditional acrobat and member of the troupe, the transition from traditional to modern acrobatics first requires learning theater, a step they have successfully taken.
Created in 2003, the troupe presented the show “Fiq” in 2019, brilliantly mixing the different artistic disciplines. Their tour through Moroccan cities this year began in May and ended in mid-June, offering their audience moments of wonder and escape.
The artists’ performances are enhanced by the music carefully selected by the troupe’s conductor, Noureddine Sanou, aka “Dj Dino”. Each element of the music, from the effects to the scratches, is in perfect harmony with the artists’ movements, creating a perfect synchronicity between the music and the performance.
In conclusion, the Moroccan troupe combines tradition and modernity to offer a captivating and energetic show, highlighting the richness of Moroccan culture through exceptional artistic performances. Through their creativity and talent, these artists contribute to preserving and promoting the art of acrobatics in Morocco, while offering their audience an unforgettable and inspiring experience.
