Marrakech – As Marrakech braces itself for the golden heat of June, something even warmer is waiting to unfold: a theatrical lineup at Théâtre Meydene that promises heart, history, and a little bit of halim.
So, I did what any emotionally-attuned girl with a curiosity complex would do — I let the program seduce me.
“Chaabiate 4” isn’t just a concert. It’s an embrace of Morocco’s musical soul, where chaâbi flirts with aita, and the chakouris percussion makes you want to dance like nobody’s judging (not even your ex from Tangier).
Youssef Wahbi is the charming ringleader of this musical time machine, and trust me, you’ll leave with your heart a little fuller — and your shoes a little dustier.
Some shows entertain you. Others pull you into a portal.
“Legends of the Sand” is one of those rare moments where kids and grown-ups share a seat on the magic carpet of imagination.
Shéhérazade leads the way through this kaleidoscope of dance, theatre, music, and dreamy visuals, turning a Friday night into an Arabian fairytale.
It’s whimsical, it’s warm, and it’ll make you believe in bedtime stories again. Even the cynical ones among us.
Let’s be real: some stars are born under spotlights, but some become stars the moment they step into one. This show is the latter.
A feel-good, tear-up-in-the-third-row kind of evening that celebrates the raw, fearless energy of young performers.
From Broadway hits to bold originals, these students aren’t just performing — they’re owning the stage.
It’s like watching tomorrow’s talent rehearse for their Netflix specials… and we get front-row seats.
And then… there’s the grand finale. The one you dress up for. The one that makes your heart ache in Arabic.
Halimiyat is not just a concert — it’s a slow dance with the memory of Abdel Halim Hafez, the original crooner of heartbreak.
Ayoub Tijani and Youssef El Jarifi’s voices glide like velvet, while maestro Hicham Talamdi’s orchestra gives the whole thing the gravitas of a 1950s romance.
It’s candlelight, it’s old love letters, it’s that person you never quite forgot.
Four nights. Four worlds. One stage.
Whether you’re nostalgic for old records, searching for new stories, or just looking for a night that reminds you you’re alive, Théâtre Meydene has you covered this June.
I might be there. Probably crying softly during Halimiyat. You’ve been warned.
