The four members of Iffriqiyya Electrique are standing next to each other in a medium shot. The three women and the man, standing on the far left of the picture with his visible hand in his jacket pocket, are all dressed in black. The photo as a whole appears very dark. Shadows fall on all the faces and bodies, so that the four are not completely recognisable. Their poses appear strong and sublime. The woman on the right has her arms crossed and is looking slightly upwards. Her hair is grey. The two other women in the middle have curly dark hair and off-the-shoulder black tops. The second from the right puts her arm on her hip. The next one holds her hands in front of her belly, a silver bracelet is visible on her right arm as well as a narrow, encircling upper arm tattoo.

Ifriqiyya Electrique

Ifriqiyya Electrique don’t just give concerts. Rather, they offer transcendental and post-industrial ceremonies, having explored various rites and trance states practised by healing communities in North Africa. A therapeutic ritual of possession and trance maintained by slaves sold in Tunisia centuries ago. A syncretism between animism and Islam. A performance with musicians interacting with electronics and electricity. Ifriqiyya Electrique let the demons speak with computers and electric guitars. All while knowing that the need to let go, forget and take off is something that exists on dancefloors all over the world.
