Anania is indeed aware of the problems that limit the choreographic creation in our country. To challenge these conditions, a call for applications was launched to modern Marrakech and Casablanca dancers, students of arts (Institute of fine arts of Tetuan, Institute of Fine Arts in Casablanca, the higher Institute of dramatic arts, Ecole supérieure of the Visual Arts of Marrakesh) and video, to an artistic work between 5 to 20 minutes with a size constraint. This work must be invented from their home, on the other term "F'lappart".
The selected work will be a program presented to Dar Bellarj and the Ecole supérieure des Arts visuels. Having survived this same constraint, Anania company elected domicile and residence of working in an apartment in Marrakech since 2004 without workspace. A big question arises however on cultural places housing spaces left fallow, while they are likely to allow dance studios.
