AYTA is a call to protest by six female performers, engaged in a profoundly collective movement. Youness Aboulakoul drew inspiration from the ayta of aïta (a Moroccan musical genre), its rhythm and its history, to imagine their journey, made up of advances, folds and lifts. The group thus becomes an entity that moves forward, bends, lifts, but eventually finds a verticality that bears the trace of all these relentless struggles.
Ayta (Arabic for "cry") is a song of inner pain, a catalyst for emotions and social aspirations. Working on the tension between the desire for elevation and the inevitable folds, Youness Aboulakoul and his collaborators propose a dance that opposes all attempts at renunciation, exalting freedom and the quest for justice.
