LE SACRE DE LILA
by Ismaël Mouaraki, Destins Croisés (Québec)
PS21 Pavilion Theater
Le sacre de Lila, a profoundly personal work by dancer-choreographer Ismaël Mouaraki, traces his own journey through France, Morocco, and Québec in his exploration of the mystical and musical traditions of Lila (“night,” in Arabic), the nocturnal rituals of spiritual healing that employ the trance, song, music, and dance traditions of the Sufi communities of the Maghreb.
