About the event
In Arabic, lila means "night." These ceremonies comprise a set of nocturnal rituals for spiritual healing, blending song, dance, and music, traditionally found in certain Maghreb countries. Ismaël transposes the rites and codes of these dance rituals onto the stage, infusing them with his signature style of contemporary urban dance to reveal the sensitivity and sensuality of the male body. Infused with the tastes and colors of Morocco, the artists transform the performance into a moment of true celebration where the exaltation of the body unfolds through a contagious energy.
