Nafaq 4: Extending Further

Nafaq

Cairo
dance European Premiere

This compelling, captivating piece by the Cairo-based all-woman collective Nafaq reveals the creative energy of a new generation of Egyptian performers. It deftly combines different styles of hip-hop and contemporary dance in an exploration of space and human relationships, holding our gaze and pulling no punches.

Hanin Tarek and Amina Abouelghar share a passion for movement and dance. Graduates of the MAAT/Cairo Contemporary Dance Center, they founded the Nafaq collective with the desire to merge a wide variety of styles and to escape any attempt at categorisation. The evocative power of their work has already earned them a place at numerous festivals including L’Alternativa in Barcelona, Fass Forward in Canada, Go Short in the Netherlands. In Marseille will be performing the European premiere of Nafaq 4: Extending Further, a short virtuoso piece that showcases their complementarity. Bathed in an almost magical darkness, Nafaq embrace the space, blend into it, intertwine and drift apart in a series of movements that are sometimes jerky and sequenced and sometimes lingering and all-enveloping. Merging or mirroring one another, they ride electro rhythms and ethereal music with the same precision, submerged by a haunting wave of sound that echoes their intimate embrace.
