Dance | Angelica Mesiti meets Filipe Lourenço

Costs: CHF 15/25/35, Ticket via >> Ticketcorner, Location: Tanzhaus Basel


In Cheb, Filipe Lourenço creates a lively encounter between traditional Maghreb music and contemporary sounds from pop, rock, funk and electro. Supported by the powerful presence of dancers Kerem Gelebek and Youness Aboulakoul and the sound design of François Caffenne and Nuri, the performance explores the connection between past and present and questions how our relationship to remembrance culture and community has changed.

Lourenço’s interest in how cultural identity is expressed through sound and physical forms of storytelling connects his work with the practices of Angelica Mesiti, with whom he has collaborated on several occasions.

On the same day at 3 pm, Angelica Mesiti and curator Tabea Panizzi will lead a guided tour of the exhibition at the Museum Tinguely, focusing on dance as a central theme in Mesiti’s work. A ticket for Cheb grants free admission to the tour.

In her works, Angelica Mesiti explores alternative forms of communication, from oral traditions to musical and performative modes of expression. Her video installations evoke the poetry of the everyday and show how exchanges via sound and gesture can create community. «The Rites of When» (2024) rethinks age-old seasonal rituals; the work offers a sensuous exploration of ways to connect with others in times of ecological uncertainty and societal change.
