In Moving Beyond: Mimount 'N Serwan, in which Dutch and Tamazight alternate, Allati and Charif combine poetry with music and play, exploring what emerges when creators work together from their different perspectives and cultural contexts.

The year 2024 marks the fourth edition of the Moving Beyond project, in which Utrecht-based composer and musician Mohamed Allati will create the performance Moving Beyond: Mimount 'N Serwan as artist-in-residence together with Dutch spoken word artist Nicole Kaandorp, Dutch philosopher and writer Khadija Al Mourabit and Moroccan singer-songwriter Lina Charif. 

The Riffi singer Mimount 'N Serwan is one of the few Moroccan performing artists who managed to win over large audiences in the 60s, 70s and 80s within a society with an ambivalent attitude towards performing arts. Based on her song lyrics and life story, Al Mourabit and Kaandorp create the poetry and story that take the audience back to the Rif through the eyes of Mimount 'N Serwan. In the musical performance, in which Dutch and Tamazight alternate, Allati and Charif combine poetry with music and acting, exploring what emerges when creators work together from their different perspectives and cultural contexts.
