Le Festival Alwaln'Art souffle sa 3ème bougie

Online on 16 June 2009  |  Culture

CULTURE Stroll to the sound of percussion, guided by the giant puppets and waders. Vagabondez in the imagination of the storytellers Immerse yourself in the dreamlike world of suspended acrobats, musicians jugglers, équilibristes at mobylette… Live 18-21 June 2009, an unlikely travel across borders, on a wire full of dreams and utopias. A journey which begins with the unavoidable circus Buren to continue on the public squares of Marrakech Tahanaoute, Aghmat, Tamesloht and AIT Ourir, taken away by the madness of the Morocco street artists, Mali, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, of France, of Italy, of Lebanon, of Spain....

Note of intent:

"There was a time where the real and the imaginary are confused, where names overrode the things they refer to, where coined words had their own existence: they grew, grew to mating and bred as beings in flesh and bones." The market, the grand-place, public space were the ideal place for their development: speech interwoven, legends relived, the sacred was subject to ridicule without ceasing to be sacred, more bitter parodies were reconciled with the liturgy, well turned tale maintained the audience excited, laughter mingled in the shares of grace, and the juggler, or the forainin took to pass the sébile. "Juan Goytisolo, in"A space magic of sociability, the world diplomatic, June 1997."

Public space is also on a daily basis. Art in public space would by extension that of the daily? A loan of realities, of materials, beings daily living, symbols and exchanges. A newspaper that can feel, touch and live.

Any musician, Visual artist, actor, equilibrist, stiltwalker, clown É artist has the power to tell the world how much he has become crazy. How much it away life, humanity and love. If religions fail to unite humanity around this trio so close and yet so simple, can the art?

Perhaps, but not only. Without his public art is nothing. We went on the squares to the meeting of the passers-by, shopkeepers, artisans. Search only public to give art sense, its urgency and its life.

Perhaps but step no matter what art. We are looking for art able to reach all audiences, a universal art. An art which by its symbolic use questions emotion at the core of its creation.

Awaln'art continues its journey between Europe and Africa for this art. The third edition will be the color of the wire stretched on which we live. Between a humanist society applying to the end the best principles of sustainable development and a company that itself comes to demonstrate its absurdity. A full of dreams and utopias wire. The performances combine traditional arts contemporary arts. They question the birth and the meaning of the creation. They take their public in a whirlwind between sky and Earth, offering poetry, the dream and the emotion of the dimensions forgotten or diverted world say modern.
