A heartfelt tribute to traditional Moroccan dance

In ‘Ch'ttahh’ (Arabic for dancer), Bilal El Had returns to the Moroccan chaabi, the popular dance and folk music synonymous with weddings, family gatherings, and street festivities. Drawing on his experience with companies like Rosas, El Had weaves the ancient rhythms and gestures of his upbringing with a contemporary movement language.

Chaabi carries a history of men pushing gender boundaries. Balancing tribute and innovation, humor and critique, ‘Ch’ttahh’ connects the power of the present with a tender gaze at the traditions that came before.
