TARAB

TARAB is a participatory piece for 6 dancers, 1 live-act composer and 100 ‘accomplices’.
Choreographer Eric Minh Cuong Castaing invites us to a participatory celebration, under the guidance of artists from the countries of the Levant. He invites musician Rayess Bek and six dancers from the Palestinian, Lebanese and Egyptian diasporas, invoking the lively rhythms and dances of the Levant. For several hours, amateur dancers will rub shoulders with the professionals on stage, guided by choreographic protocols.
The dabke, a folk dance from the Levant, will take pride of place, in a game of transmission and shared joy.
This performance is open to everyone aged 8 and older

The piano accompanied Mozart throughout his life from early childhood, when he performed in public across Europe. His keyboard works often resonate with those written for larger ensembles or for the operatic stage, serving as a genuine laboratory for new ideas. In the eighteenth century, however, the piano sounded quite different from modern instruments.
With his Marimba Lumina, an electronic instrument conceived by synthesizer pioneer Donald Buchla, Lukas Ligeti creates a sonic universe that defies categorization.
Drawing on complex rhythms, shifting pulses and sound fragments recorded during his travels — particularly in Africa — he creates music in which electronics become a space where cultures, memory and imagination meet.
