Initiated as a musical exchange between heritage and modernity, the meeting of Abdellah Hassak and Skander Besbes also came up against the question of creation and collaboration in times of travel restrictions.
Their response is a series of musical tableaux imbued with both sharing and introspection.

This adventure, which began at a distance, will also end at the same distance, as Abdellah will perform alone on stage to present the creations resulting from this process. The performance will be spatio-temporally shifted, with Abdellah improvising live in dialogue with the tapes pre-recorded by Skander in another space.
Abdellah M. Hassak, also known as Guedra Guedra, is a sound artist, new media specialist, music producer and artistic director. His research explores processes of participatory sound mapping at the urban level, integrating sound, everyday technologies and radio as tools to foster the agency of inhabitants’ narratives about their environment. Abdellah has collaborated with numerous other institutions and cultural spaces in Morocco and abroad in radio and sound practice, including ESAD GRENOBLE / ESAV MARRAKECH / Mudawanat – Culture Resource / Qanat Collective / Dar Bellarj / Think Tanger / E-Joussour – Radio Impact. He launched the sound platform Radio and Archive Mahattat Radio and is developing a syncretic musical practice of Afrofuturism with field recordings as Producer/DJ (Guedra Guedra).
