Harbourfront Centre presents Fouad Boussouf’s Näss (People), October 26 to 28, 2023

Harbourfront Centre transports audiences to the streets of Morocco with the Canadian premiere of Näss (‘people’ in Arabic) from choreographer Fouad Boussouf, on stage October 26 to 28, 2023, at 7:30pm at Fleck Dance Theatre, as part of the international contemporary dance series Torque. Näss explores and interprets the cross-cultural influences of contemporary and traditional North African dance, urban hip hop and breakdance. The work is also shaped by Boussouf’s upbringing in Morocco – its music and dance traditions – including Gnawa and Reggada. A mystical and universal piece, performed by a cast of seven male dancers, Näss transfixes with its hypnotic and ritualistic rhythms, intense athleticism and acrobatic feats danced to a powerful score by Roman Bestion, Marion Castor and Boussouf.
