Episode description

Devised and directed by Zimmermann & de Perrot, performed by Groupe Acrobatique de Tangier Thursday 21 – Monday 25 April 2011, Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall Weaving together contemporary performance and traditional Moroccan acrobatics, Chouf Ouchouf is a witty and highly skilled evocation of the energy, joy and urgency of life in Tangiers. With live music and a set that floats apart and reassembles to represent the many faces of a bewildering and exciting landscape, the performers go in search of the city's beating heart. ‘With an insouciant brilliance, they fill the stage with multiple back-flips, dizzying cartwheels, perilous human pyramids and vaulting trampoline stunts… everyone was spellbound.’ The Guardian on the company’s previous show Taoub Suitable for ages seven to adult. http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/find/dance-performance/tickets/chouf-ouchouf-55914
