This performance is a unique collaboration between the creator of the dance workspace Espace Darja; the choreographer and dancer Meryem Jazouli, and the famous composer, producer and jazz singer Malika Zarra.

Folkah! was born out of the desire to bring together two female performers around an ancestral dance of the Sahara, nowadays a danced and sung folklore: the Guedra. For this project a corporal and vocal language was developed that revisits the context, words and gestures of the Guedra, to invent a new frame of dialogue between body and voice. Starting from the structural elements of this dance full of with stories and meanings – attitudes, signs, codes, light, temporality – Folkah! explores possible breaks and deconstructions in order to develop the kind of extensions and excesses that are typical for a contemporary choreographic practice.
