ICH L¡EBE M¡LONGA
Sidi Larbi’s m¡longa was in Stuttgart last week where it was performed at Theaterhaus Stuttgart as part of Tanzfestival Colour.
The show went down incredibly well and the audience quite literally wouldn’t stop clapping.
If you’ve seen the show you may well recognise some of the faces pictured above from the stage. But also in this photo the dancers are joined by some of m¡longa’s hard-working technicians and one of our producers and a familiar face on the blog, Sandra.
Ly-onwards and upwards for Life in Progress
Another week and another festival for the jam-packed Life in Progress schedule. This week the show was at Les Nuìts de Fourvière – a two month long theatre, dance, music, and cinema festival that takes place in the Gallo-Roman outdoor theatres of Fourvière.
Life in Progress was performed in the Grand Theatre, pictured above before the sun started to set and the show began. And what an atmospheric location! The audience as always were captivated and threw the cushions they’d been sat on at the stage at the end – a French custom way of clapping, or so they said.
