The 5th Edition of the festival of dance contemporary walk has just concluded in Marrakesh. Moroccan El Hassania Himmi is back, the body and the face also veiled. Hands and feet are a small carpet of ground support. Ready to pounce, she barely moves. His show is called Transhumance. This is the first climbs on stage before an audience. Choreography to the narrow, sober, devoid of its gestures, and almost Transhumance said effectively the situation of contemporary dance at the 
Maroc. Same impression with so simple, the first experience of performing also for the Moroccan Meriam Houguig, Ilham Bouamar and Fatima Ezzohra Himmi. Fatima is the twin sÏur of El Hassania just talk. "I am study nursing, she says, and unlike my sÏur, I am obliged to dance in secret from my parents." Two sÏurs dancers, it is too much for them! "Each dance its partition on a small area. Fatima, hampered by ropes, feet falling at least not.
