Malika Fankha
Malika Fankha studied theatre in Zurich and contemporary dance at SEAD in Salzburg as well as at NYU Tisch and works as a dancer, poet and DJ. Mal is interested in subverting predictable narratives and carving out spaces for both precarious intimacy and campy melodrama. Their work unfolds structures and politics of desire by seeking softer weavings between sensation and sociality, by building an obstinate yet malleable matrix of connections. Mal’s previous collaborations include, among others, Tanzquartier Wien, brut Wien, WUK, ImPulsTanz, Wiener Festwochen, Tanzhaus Zürich, Südpol Luzern, Dampfzentrale Bern, Art Basel, Zentrum Paul Klee, Pianofabriek Brussels, workspacebrussels, Kaaitheater, CAMPO Ghent, BUDA Kortrijk, Cullberg Ballet Stockholm, Life Long Burning, Golden Days Copenhagen, Mladi Levi Ljubljana, Swissnex, Counterpulse San Francisco and Théâtre National du Luxembourg.
