Khalid Bounouar live in Stuttgart

Experience Khalid Bounouar live on April 30th

Khalid Bounouar will perform at Theaterhaus Stuttgart on April 30, 2027. Bounouar is a Moroccan-German musician known for his distinctive blend of Gnawa music traditions with contemporary electronic and jazz influences. His work frequently incorporates the *guembri* (a three-stringed bass lute traditionally used in Gnawa rituals) alongside synthesizers, drum machines, and other modern instrumentation, creating a sound that bridges cultural heritage and innovative production techniques. He often explores themes of identity, migration, and spirituality within his compositions.

Theaterhaus Stuttgart is a prominent venue for performing arts in Stuttgart, Germany. Opened in 1988 after renovations to a former industrial building, it’s recognized for its flexible space and focus on contemporary theatre, dance, performance art, and music. The venue deliberately avoids establishing a fixed artistic direction, instead prioritizing a diverse program showcasing both established and emerging artists. It has become known as an important platform for experimental and interdisciplinary work. The building itself reflects this ethos; its adaptable architecture allows for varied stage configurations and audience arrangements accommodating different performance needs. It's owned by the city of Stuttgart but operates independently in its curatorial decisions.
