Rabat - In between the sound and the fury caused by the preparations for the upcoming festivals bringing pop-stars like Maroon 5, Pharrell, and more to Morocco, it’s easy to forget to appreciate the unique and diverse talent that exists on this side of the world.
The Racines Association, The Minority Globe, and Theater of Oppressed Casablanca have teamed up to bring together ten of the most talented comedians and musicians from Morocco, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon, and the Ivory Coast to participate in the street theater known as Mix City.
Mix City focuses on Drama, Diversity and Development.
"Mix City will create trade channels of communications between sub-Saharan migrants and local people, contributing to a better mutual understanding that encourages the integration of this minority in the social fabric," Reuben Yemoh ODOI, director of The Minority Globe organization, told Morocco World News.
"We are now together working hard to bring the best in us out here in the streets of Morocco," he added.
The 10 month long project aims to provide sub-Saharan migrants residing in Morocco with a space for self-expression while simultaneously educating the Moroccan society on issues targeting specific populations, prejudices, and stereotypes, and creating a channel of communication between the performers and the locals to discuss collective ideas and achieve peaceful conflict resolution.
