AJJIT | Khadija El Kharraz Alami and Reda Senhaji (Cheb Runner)
In AJJIT, performance artist Khadija and producer Reda shine light on the importance of coming together, commemoration, moving, music and the power of expressing emotions and sharing them. Showing and celebrating the beauty of carrying a complex identity in many dimensions and inviting it to be, is an attempt and a desire to make complexity tangible. The performance is an invitation to collectively re-animate our pre-capitalist bodies and reflect on and honor lives lost.
Khadija and Reda practice different disciplines but share their rich and complex cultural identity and their love for it. For them, this manifests itself in the polyrhythms which can be found in among others different North African music genres. In Khadija's research on awakening pre-capitalist bodies, she invited Reda to delve into the different musical genres in Morocco. From Ahwach to Gnaoua, Ghaita, Chaabi and Issawa in search of stories, rhythms and movements that celebrate their complexities. Transforming and adapting these spiritual sounds and rhythms through his modular we encounter their definition of polyrhythms in electronic music.
What can the function of the performing arts be in today's collapse of democracy, empires, capitalism beyond the reflection of the times we live in? Can the act and notion of togetherness, during the performance, build, contribute to actively speculate and remake the human body, body as a mass, in our collapsing societies?
The performance will take place on ADE Wednesday and ADE Thursday.
Ticket sale starts end of August.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
