MATRIMONIA
MATRIMONIA spans from tango to contemporary dance and physical theater. With the support of dance and video projection, Oussaifi and Wanka take us into a contemporary feminist universe.
The show opens with the words of a tango projected on the wall, then translated into Arabic and recited in voice-over. This is not just any tango. It's not a tango about romantic love, nor is it a nostalgic tango about one's hometown or the past, to take up the most common themes of the genre.
This tango is called "un crimen" - a crime - and poetically narrates the confession of a feminicide and its absolution as a crime of honor.
F.O. and R.W. have chosen this Tango to question the patriarchal principle and the legitimacy of the notion of Heritage/Patrimoine through tango.
