Radouan Mriziga

The artistic work of Mriziga is noteworthy for its use of dance and  choreography as a means to share knowledge with an audience, going beyond the purely aesthetic experience of a performance. What is  paramount is the sharing of different forms of knowledge, be it knowledge about space, architecture, the body and its connection to mind  and intellect, or, more recently, knowledge about forgotten and repressed narratives. His performances can be described as forms of ‘performed knowledge’, through which he puts forward a committed vision of art as a tool for processing and producing knowledge. Choreographer  and dancer Radouan Mriziga (Morocco, 1985) took dance courses in Marrakech and Tunisia and continued his career at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, where he graduated in 2012. Since then, he has worked on several productions such as “Half Eleven Summer Night” by Bart Meuleman (Toneelhuis), “Re:Zeitung” (P.A.R.T.S. Foundation and De Munt) where a young generation of professional dancers reworked Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s repertoire, “Primitive” by Claire Croizé, “People in a  Field” by Simon Tanguy, and “Becoming” by Youness Khoukhou. From 2014 onwards, he started creating his own oeuvre for which he received support from Moussem Nomadic Arts Centre until 2019. From 2017 to 2021,  Radouan Mriziga was a resident artist of Kaaitheater in Brussels. Since 2017, he has been an associated artist of Something Great in Berlin, and  since 2021, he has been a house artist at deSingel in Antwerp.
