Dance

Led by Fouad Boussouf, Massala Dance Company presents Näss(People), an original ensemble piece exploring the cross-cultural influences of North African dance and contemporary hip hop.
First you will hear the rhythm, immemorial and haunting. On these beats, seven male dancers come together, mixing hip hop and traditional dance patterns. Näss(people)’s powerful communion takes you to the streets of Morocco where modernity and traditions meet which makes the hip hop dance unique.
Acrobatics, rotations of continuous heads, and physical power, these are the spectacular movements that let dancers push and pull, tug and heave, spin and flip, spring and collapse, in a rhythmic odyssey that draws audiences into a vibrant adventure of dance fusion that is at the same time modern and fundamentally anchored in the traditions of Moroccan society.
