Filipe Lourenço's Gouâl in Situ is presented in a short public space version, Gouâl in the City.
Performed on different squares in the heart of the city, Gouâl in the City reinvents the Alawi Moroccan and Algerian warrior dance reserved for men by reading it through contemporary choreographic writing. The bodies of the ten dancers, men and women alike, reappropriate the dance, transforming it, away from ancient frames, to give it new life.
Performed without music, crossed by the rhythm of the voices and struck to the ground, the dance is mixed in the powerful pulsation of the bodies, of all the bodies, together.
