The anthropologist Faouzi Skali has just revealed the program of the first edition [of the Sufi festival] which will be held from April 27th until May 2nd [in the city of Fez, Morocco].
He specifies it immediately: his aim is not to make a festival of “spirituality”, for spirituality does not need a festival: it lives at the bottom of the heart.
On the other hand, Faouzi Skali affirms his will to popularize the sufi spirit and to go beyond the framework of the Brotherhoods (Turuq Tijania, Qadiriya, Boutchichiya, Charqawiya and Ouazzaniya will be equally represented).
And indeed, the programming of the Festival shows the diversity of the Sufi culture. The young "slammer"Abdelmalik will be present, to incarnate the revival of sufi poetry.
The film “Bab' Aziz, the prince who contemplated his soul” by Nacer Khemir, will be projected to represent a cinema which "does not need to say that it is sufi because, simply, it is".
Many more and more traditional events are envisaged throughout the six evenings.
