Näss (People) – Fouad Boussouf | Le Phare – CCN du Havre Normandie

Celebrating a decade of powerful Arab stories

Näss (People) fuses the energy of hip hop with the rich musical traditions of Morocco in a powerful contemporary dance performance.

Created by choreographer Fouad Boussouf, the production brings seven performers together in an explosive exploration of movement, rhythm and identity.

Inspired by the legendary Nass el Ghiwane, the choreography draws on Gnawa traditions while embracing the raw spirit of urban dance.

Each performer brings a distinct style to the stage, creating a dynamic exchange that constantly evolves.

Developed in Morocco, the work reflects Boussouf’s cultural roots, weaving heritage and contemporary expression into a hypnotic, trance-like experience.
