Halqa "Baqchich"

The Halqa is formed by the group Baqchich. They play comedies at the Djemaa El Fna
in which they show off stereotypes between Arabs and Berbers. One of the protagonists plays the arab, the other plays the berber. Each time the audience supports one of them, the other needs to suffer. Just the audience  can put him out of his humiliation with handing over some dirham. After the play is over they start again and the humiliation shifts to the other one. Among others Mohamed Zaaqat, Lhcen Ait Lahcen and Hassan Ait el Jaoudi are part of the group. 

The Berbers live in the area of todays Morocco since the second millennium before Christ. Around 685 the Arabs conquered the Moroccan area und brought the Islam into the region. In the following centuries Arabs and Berbers were constantly in conflicts but defended the regions united against the looming invasion through Spain and Portugal.
