Bouchra Ouizguen

Madame Plaza

  • Dance

“Madame Plaza” is the name of the oldest cabaret in Marrakesh. In this piece of the same name, the choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen works with three women who appear at parties, weddings and in nightclubs. These so-called “Shikhat” have a mixed social standing in Morocco. They are admired for their strong voices and sensuous movements, but are ostracized by their families because exhibiting their intimate lives transgresses the boundaries of what is socially acceptable.
