Omweg naar Huis - Ali Zanad

Dans & ballet

How does his dance life, which started in the Netherlands, relates to the dance culture of his birthplace? Ali Zanad wonders that. In the triptych detour home , Ali follows the track to his source. At the same time, Ali makes the step from dancer to maker with this project. A dance film, a solo and one piece for three dancers, take the viewer on a trip.

The documentary and dance film detour home follows Ali on his research trip to Morocco in 2024. In search of roots of the Arab dance culture, he recognizes himself in young street dancers and gets inspiration from the ways in which tradition and hip hop meet in Morocco. Filmer Constantin Trommelitz followed Ali on this trip and filmed part of the making process of Sat’eh.
