Radouan Mriziga

Radouan Mriziga, from Marrakech and now based in Brussels, has developed a unique voice in contemporary dance through his thoughtful and innovative approach to choreography. After his education in Marrakech, Tunisia and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, Mriziga began creating his own work.

His early trilogy – “55” (2014), “3600” (2016), and “7” (2017) – explores polyrhythms and non-binary rhythms within temporary geometric contexts, merging concrete and imaginary spaces. In addition to his independent work, Mriziga has collaborated on several notable productions, including projects with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. His contributions to works by Bart Meuleman, Claire Croizé, Simon Tanguy, and Youness Khoukhou reflect his active involvement in the dance community.

 Mriziga's recent work focuses on the mythology and culture of the Amazigh, the indigenous people of North Africa. His trilogy “Tafukt” (2020), “Ayur” (2019), and “Akal” (2021) delves into themes of time, historical space, and mythology, centering on three female deities from Amazigh lore. In 2023, he began a new trilogy – “Atlas / the Mountain”, “Magec / the Desert”, and “Awessu / the Sea” – which continues his exploration of Amazigh culture through choreographic landscapes and ecosystems. Mrizigas's works have toured internationally, among others at Festival d’Automne, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Tanz im August, Festival TransAmériques, Dream City Festival in Tunis and Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
