Fouad Boussouf blends artistic practices of hip-hop, contemporary dance, and new circus with traditional forms of his native Morocco. Celebrating their Joyce debut, Boussouf and his company present Näss, which translates as “people” in Arabic, a work at the crossroads of frenetic modernity and ancestral rituals.

Inspired by the mysticism of the Gnawa tradition and the regional dances of taskiwine and reggada, Boussouf questions his own roots while revealing a universal dimension where the power of community is championed above inevitable struggle and strife. 

The Joyce Theater has lifted vaccination requirements. Masks continue to be required at all times for visitors inside the theater, including performances.
