Tafukt is a dance solo created by Radouan Mriziga, and the first part in a trilogy focusing on the semantics and mythologies of the Imazighen, the indigenous people of North Africa. Each part centres on one female figure – embodied by one female dancer – who is a guardian of the transmission of Amazigh knowledge. In this part, it is the goddess Athena.

If the pandemic has forced artistic processes to be more isolated, in this edition the Kunstenfestivaldesarts has decided to open a temporary and shared artistic residency. For ten days, Dina Mimi, Roland Gunst, Salvatore Calcagno, and Nikima Jagudajev work in four spaces in the Kaaistudios. While each of them works on different research projects, they have moments of collective discussion. On the last two days, a public opening is held in which this ongoing research is shared.
