Riḥ Es-Sed (Man of Ashes)

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), *Riḥ Es-Sed (Man of Ashes)* is presented in a live, open-form performance setting, with featured performers Nouri Bouzid and Albert Samama Chikli. The work turns on memory and residue—what survives after violence, displacement, or time has done its work. It sits in a New York context where North African stories are often sidelined, and MoMA’s frame makes that absence visible. The piece’s refusal to resolve into a single narrative feels less like ambiguity than a record of fractured history.
