Flaming creatures

With Flaming Creatures, Latifa Laâbissi continues her long-term exploration of marginalized figures, archives, and shifting identities.

Alongside singer and poet Walid Ben Selim, she has created a piece in which dance and music draw upon ancient Amazigh memories. Songs surface, figures emerge—Majdoub, Lbouhaliya, LMeskoun—elusive presences, hovering between ritual, trance, and fiction. The movement is interwoven with fragments of stories and buried emotions.

Within Nadia Lauro’s organic set design—conceived as a living space of threads and materials—the piece unfolds like a refrain: a series of motifs, voices, and presences that return, transform, and persist. Flaming Creatures thus becomes a space of transition, where the margins take shape and where new ways of being in the world are invented.
