The program “Show” of the Live Room Project continues to create events in Tangier and this time with Halloween. A special show / party will be held on Friday, November 1 at Darna Theater (in front of the fish market).

Costumes, disguises, horror makeup, and live shows will be waiting for you. But why did we specifically choose the Halloween event to celebrate it? Well, because it’s fun, it’s the only party that celebrates –comically- horror. The children love to celebrate it as well. In addition, collective Live Room wants to express its opinion on this festival that is strange to us but also that becomes very commercial in recent years.

History:

This is not the first time when Live Room Show has Halloween as its theme. Back in 2016, the project organized a Show at the American Legation of Tangier under the theme of “Halloween meets Boujloud” where we tried to make a comparative approach between what is it in the Moroccan culture (Boujloud festival in the region of Sous) with the feast of American origin Halloween. It was one of the most successful events. We were very touched by the joy received from the children and youth who participated. This year, we will set up a new event with a micro show on consumption and advertising presented by the theater team. Then, we will present a welcoming show by the project’s founder Omar Mok’s. We will host for the second time the rock band Tetouan Obsession and will see a dance show from the collective Dance of the North or Ramis who will offer us a premier rock thriller show. Live Room Halloween Show is a disguise party that will take place on November 1st at 7:00 pm and last until 9:30 pm.

About the program:

We would like to remind lectors (what do you mean? Do you mean followers?)  that the Live Room Show is a quarterly festive and educational program launched by Live Room Project in 2016, which aims at revolutionizing the notion of cultural events by creating a show that pleases and teaches the audience. It has a moral theme that directly affects the social situation of the users and a unique program that promotes cultural diversity. The theater team provides an opening to the program presents the theme and integrates the audience. Then, it presents a welcoming show. Later, we pass to the programmed performances while leaving room for an open mic / jam session.

URBAN ART WEEK 3° WAS ALL ABOUT HAVING GOOD TIMES

“Thank you so much Live Room for this event”, “It was the best day of my life!”, “Keep the vibes UP!”, “We can’t thank you enough for this colorfull wall transformation”, “We’ve participated in many others street art fest but this one guys is definetly the coolest one!”… Those were some of the feedbacks we’ve recieved after the event ends and that make us very proud and more motivated than ever. From the start of Live Room Project, we have put the entertainment  of our audience at the head of our priorities but also worked hard to involve them in our events and make them express themselfs freely. In this third edition of the Urban Art Fest Tangier, we had more than a thousand visitors, mostly aged between 13 and 25 years and more than a hundred artists for all categories. Such a plaisure to know that you had guys passed a good time with us.

The Fest opening was DOPE

The Urban Art Week turns around the collective Art exhibition and the murals. The opening day was organised at Old British Embassy of Tangier with a full day animation program  containing every urban art style and where we tried to create an utopic piece of the city inside the closed venue so people and artists can feel free to express their creativity without any form of censure. Boys and girls together, family bringing their children to discover street art, people from different places doing networking: Do what do you love now! This was the spirit of the Urban Art Fest 3.

In the program we had: Collective art exhibition (29 artists: Comics, Digital Art, Pop Art, Photography, Drawing, Videos), Xgames and freestyle parade, Dance and choreography,   Music concert, Rap Parade, Two theatre shows, Graffiti workshops, Painting workshop…

19 STREET ARTISTS FOR MURALS

After the open call for participation, we recieved 19 Graffiti and Street artists whom 2 from Spain, 7 from Tangier and the rest from others Moroccan cities. The artists stayed in a residency for 5 days where they met on day one, attended the opening day event and felt the spirit of Live Room Project then started to work on their sketch books to have the best result for the collective wall painting. After 4 days, they have completly transformed Ibn Toumart street. Tangier’s to be very proud of them, and so we are.

PERSPECTIVES

This year’s edition was harder than ever, because we faced schedule & budget difficulties. Next year goal is to have a development team available from november 2019 which mission will be administrative and sponsoring process following.

For the other hand, we will keep working on the structuration of urban groups specialy in Tangier such Graffiti, Street art, BMX, Skateboarding, Freestyling, Parkour, Dance, Rap and underground m:usic. The idea is to encourage artists and amateurs to regroup themselves in collectifs so we can serve them better.

Also, we will keep opening the project to the North region of Morocco, the other cities and to our mediteranean neighbours for more artists exchange. The final goal for next year is to make it 5% better than this year, and especially to make this festival the engine of street art creation in the city of Tangier.

Finally we would love to thank everyone who made this happen. The participants, the team, the partners: Thank you so much and see you next year!

Live Room Project’s main focus is on artistic creations especially theatre because it’s the mirror of our ideology and the reflection on people’s daily life. Since the beginning of the project we have launched two Experimental Theatre sections. We have begun in November 2018 with a group of four actors then six during the second experience. Our vision is based on creating a show composed by basic Live Room actors to whom other performers can join depending on each show. This integrates directly the audience by giving each one of them a role in the show. The theme planned for this section is: Lost choices between love and freedom. The show will be performed exclusively at Live Room for at least six times before going on a tour. By the end of the year the show must be complete and highly performed so we can participate in theatre festivals in 2020. So, if you love theatre, ready to attend to the repetitions and ready to give us some of your precious time, please contact us. And if you would like to be part of our faithful and ambitious audience, get yourself ready to attend to the next Live Room in February
