Dawri

It is from the ancestral Tunisian refrain Dawri (“turn, turn”) that the new choreographic creation by Myriam Allard and Hedi Graja emerges. Led by women, this refrain becomes the driving force behind a journey through the cycle of life grounding the work in repetition, ritual and transmission.

Dawri is driven by a visceral approach to movement. It rises from thirty years of flamenco embodied practice and is reshaped through encounters with street and contemporary dancers, forming a field of forces — a collision space where movement is raw, explosive, and transcendent.

Rooted in the ethos of La Otra Orilla, based on hybridization and freedom, Dawri explores movement as an act of connection and survival: a way to gather, rise again, and keep turning so as never to cease existing.
