In 1961, the late African American theatre pioneer Ellen Stewart was visiting the old city of Tangier, when she came upon a young Berber choreographer named Hassan Ouakrim, whom she would invite to work with her at La Mama Theatre in New York."A Thousand and One Berber Nights" tells the story of this unlikely friendship, looking at the life of Ouakrim from his childhood in 1940s French-ruled Morocco to his becoming a “master teacher,” who taught North African dance across America. Ouakrim would form friendships with literary figures, politicians and jazz artists, including Ornette Coleman and Randy Weston.

"My story is different," says Ouakrim, "but it is very American."
