Bullhead (Rundskop)
Michaël R. Roskam - Belgium – 2011

Jacky Vanmarsenille is a young Limburg cattle farmer, who after a tragic event in his childhood turns into a tormented muscle machine. He is approached by an unscrupulous veterinarian to make a shady deal with a notorious West-Flemish beef trader. But the assassination of a federal policeman, and an uexpected confrontation with a mysterious secret from Jacky’s past, set in motion a chain of events with far-reaching consequences. “Bullhead is a grotesque tragedy about fate and about how our lives are sometimes determined by events over which we have no control,” Roskam says about his debut film. Ït is a film about people being driven to extremes. It is not about cowboys and Indians, about good and evil, but about how seemingly small events can sometimes have huge consequences for the people involved and leave them without choice.
Bullhead has won 25 Flemish and international film awards, and is on the shortlist for the Oscars in the “Best Foreign Language Film” category.

Duration: 124 minutes
Language: Flemish, with English subtitles.

Abou El Gheit Dervishes at El Tanbura Hall

El Mastaba Center for Egyptian Folk Music will host a night of spiritual music with the Sufi group Abou El Gheit Dervishes on Thursday February 23, 2012 in El Tanbura Hall at 9:00 PM. Entry tickets available at the entrance (20 EGP) .
If you haven't been there yet, do try to go. It is a very nice experience both on the musical and on the human side. The people at El Mastaba are really friendly and they do, against many odds, an amazing job reviving and bringing to the general public Egyptian traditional music. I always had a lot of respect for their work.

The Story of the Dervishes of Abou El Gheit
Abou El Gheit is the name of an island near Qaliyubia where a queen called Anja once lived. She used to enslave people to work for her on her enormous property for next to nothing.
Sheikh Hassan Ebeid was a religious man, who had given up on any greed or material aspirations, and did not approve of Anja's behavior. He was called Hassan Al Ghitani, which means the one who always resides in the 'gheit' or field.
Hassan would help the poor, mistreated farmers and workers of queen Anja, and in the remaining time would pray in the fields. One night he found a dead body floating in a canal near a field where he had spent the night praying to God. He buried it carefully and fell asleep. During his sleep he was touched by a soft whisper of a messenger of God, who promised him that God would care for him and protect him.
Queen Anja tried to kill Hassan several times, but never succeeded as he was protected by God's mercy.
People began calling him Sheikh Abul Gheit, and coming from all over the country to enjoy his presence and witness his miracles.
Sheikh Abul Gheit died in 1830 and his son Sheik Attallah Abul Gheit followed in his footsteps. He had many devoted admirers and was known for the Sufi "zikr" rituals he would perform all over Egypt.
One night, Sheikh Attallah Abul Gheit was in an area called Arab Al Mohamadi, known for its Sudanese community and frequent zar performances. The leader of this area was a tough man named Mohamed Morgan, who wouldn't allow anyone to have entertainment or conduct a zikr without his permission. During a confrontation with him, Sheikh Abul Gheit prayed that God would purify Morgan's soul, and overnight Morgan had became Abul Gheit's most devoted follower. Morgan joined him in every journey after that and lead the zikr nights after Abul Gheit's death.
Morgan was the link between Arab Al Mohamadi and Abul Gheit and the distinct styles of Egyptian and Sudanese Zar. Through him, his sons and his followers, a new and unique kind of music came to life. Through constant traveling and experimenting, Abul Gheit's dervishes created an exceptional fusion, a new kind of zar that did not believe in 'ghosts' or 'spirits', but was in fact a tool to awaken the spirit and touch the deepest levels of the soul.*

"Sufi singing is characterized by its power to deeply penetrate into the human soul. The dervishes of the Ghitani way have penetrated even further: in their weekly gatherings their chanting can lead to a kind of healing of the pain and suffering of the soul. This brings together those who seek the spiritual help that can give relief to their wounds.
We are not claiming that you will touch the same spirituality as in their ritual gatherings, but if you come to see them at El Tanbura Hall, you will discover a spiritual world you haven't seen before."

NOTICE TO CLEG READERS

Dear CLEG readers,

Since June 2011, the month I left Cairo, I have given the reins of Cairo Live Events Guide to Cairenebeat and contributed only occasionally to the site. Thanks to Cairenebeat the blog has continued to provide a flow of free information about Cairo's lively entertainment scene throughout these most turbulent, but equally stimulating, times.

Alas, at present Cairenebeat has also to take time out from CLEG due to an increased workload and frequent trips abroad.

Because of the necessity of being "in situ" and the considerable amount of time spent on gathering information for this specific post, I therefore regret to inform you that CLEG's Weekly Agenda will not appear until further notice. On the other hand, all specific event posting based on press releases, and on information sent to CLEG directly by event organizers, will continue to appear on the blog and to be sent to subscribers as usual.

I hope we will be able to bring back the Weekly Agenda soon.

Wish the very best to you all,

Cairowanderer

El Wazery group from Ismailia at El Tanbura Hall

El Mastaba Center for Egyptian Folk Music presents a concert by "El Wazery" group on Thursday February 16, 2012 at 9:00 PM at El Tanbura Hall.
Ticket: 20 EGP (available at the door)

 

El Wazery group

The three cities of the Canal (Port Said, Ismailia and Suez) share similar traditions of music and song, though each has its special features.

Three tributaries combined to bring these arts to Ismailia, which is located half-way along the Canal. The first of these was the Sudanese, who have lived in the oldest quarters of the city-the "Slave Stockades" ('arayshiyyit il-'abid)-since it was built in the last third of the nineteenth century. The second was the interaction of local musicians with others from Port Said or Suez, as well as with the shipping passing through the Canal, which, at the end of the 1930's, brought the instrument known as the simsimiyya (a type of lyre). And the third was the influence of the other shores of Lake Manzalla, at one end of which Ismailia lies, and especially that of the fisher families living in 'Izbit el-Bahtini, who brought with them fishing songs and the songs of the damma ("street gathering"- a genre with its roots in Sufi music).
On the streets of the city, these tributaries mingled to produce what may be called "the popular art of Ismailia," which flourished from the beginning of the 1950's up to the war of June 1967.

After the war, the inhabitants of the city were forced to migrate to areas further inside Egypt, far from the battle line. In their diaspora, in the cities and villages and displacement camps, the people of Ismailia survived, and shared their singing with the displaced from Port Said and Suez, to the accompaniment of the simsimiyya, which, with its songs expressive of their common concerns, played an important role in creating a bond among them.

With the end of the war and the return of the displaced to their cities, things were different, in Ismailia as in the rest of Egypt. When the "open door" economic policy was adopted, social values changed and, at the beginning of the 1970's, the trend towards commercialism started to take over the old artistic tradition. Competition for the rich pickings of the wedding market intensified, leading to the withdrawal from this field of the authentic musicians, as some died and others retired.

Only one, the musician Muhammad El-Wazery - the King of Simsimiya, refused to retire into obscurity and continued to cherish his own simsimiyya, though he had no idea what to do with it on his own. Things changed when El-Wazery met Zakaria Ibrahim (the founder of the group), and embarked on a relationship with the Tanbura troupe experiment in Port Said, which attempted to collect the music and songs of Port Said by bringing together the old musicians, who, like their fellows in Ismailia, had gone into retirement.

Muhammad El-Wazery died on 2009 and the his group continued his legacy by presenting his style through different generations, specially his grandchildren.

- THE INNOCENT at the Netherlands-Flemish Institute, 7:00 PM

Language: Arabic (no subtitles!)
Duration: 110 minutes

The Innocent tells the story of the young Ahmed who is assigned to a prison for his military service. The commander is able to convince Ahmed that the prisoners are enemies of the state and he gives the order to torture them.

Atef Al-Tayeb, together with fellow directors, gave Egyptian cinema a new direction in the ’80s with his neo-realist style. Today he is seen as one of Egypt’s great directors. The Innocent is one of Tayeb’s films that prove he did not shun politics, even the most controversial topics such as political prisoners who are persecuted by the government on false grounds. This theme led the Egyptian authorities at first to ban the film and then to delete the last part of it. Thirty years later the film didn’t lose any of its relevance!
With: Ahmed Zaki, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Gamil Rateb, Elham Shahin, Mamdouh Abdel Alim, Ahmed Rateb

"Whilst closely gazing at the soup" after Bern comes to the Rawabet Theatre

“Whilst closely gazing at the soup...”, after hitting the Swiss scenes with performances at the Dampfzentrale in Bern on February 10, 11 and 12 will come to the Rawabet Theatre in Cairo on February 29 and March 1 and 2, 2012.

The project is a collaboration of Karima Mansour (choreographer, Cairo), Daria Gusberti (choreographer, Bern) and Maia Gusberti (visual artist, Bern). They work together with Laila Soliman (director, Cairo) and Mahmoud Refat (musician, Cairo).

In this project images and expectations are respectively created while two beings emerge, are reflected on a mirror and detach from one another. By changing views and expectations new relations are created between the performers themselves, between them and the public and between the performers and the emerging images.
The Self is projected on to the other, the other is reflected on to the self: thus creating various impressions. Different perspectives emerge and expectations arise... A joint never-ending creation of an intricate web of images, a constant shift of sources and questions, within confronting moments of blindness and vision. Forcing us to wonder: “Do you see what I see...”
