PICA will present Moroccan choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen with CORBEAUX, a unique, site specific, all female dance performance that engages an intergenerational group of local women through workshops and performances.Corbeaux (“ravens” in French), features a multitude of both Moroccan and local female-identified performers. The piece combines trance states with the rhythmic wail of the feminine. Clothed in black with white headscarves, the women engage in constant repetitions and modulations, communal movements and loud articulations. Ouizguen always returns to the subject of women’s role in society, drawing on themes of ancestral roots, instinct, love, and human connection.
