Radouan Mriziga

Magec / the Desert

21.–23.8.

22.8. ● Beyond the Stage

Age recommendation: 12 years

Duration 1 h 10 min

In “Magec / the Desert”, Radouan Mriziga explores the desert as a place of silence, humility, and connection – inspired by the north African Amazigh culture. Together with his team, he mixes music, text, dance, and rhythm into a layered performance.

In a world where human control and technology dominate perception, that which exists independently of us can provide an opportunity for reflection – sublime landscapes, for instance. In his latest work, “Magec / the Desert”, Radouan Mriziga delves into the poetic and philosophical dimensions of the desert. He draws inspiration from the mythology of the Amazigh, the Indigenous people of North Africa, and perceives the landscape of the desert as one teaching both, humility and interconnectedness. As always, Mriziga works collaboratively, interweaving rhythm, music, text and movement with his team to create a multi-layered performance.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
