A series of acoustic and electro-acoustic concerts curated by Nicola Ratti and conceived for the morning hours—when natural light is at its brightest—Matinée invites attentive, intimate listening. Each event offers sound experiences that differ in language and references, yet are united by a central element: the quality of listening. A mode of listening that interacts with space, time, and light, becoming a moment of suspension and perceptual openness.
Joining this session is Abdullah Miniawy, Egyptian expressionist whose practice moves across music, writing, and performance, giving shape to works that range from soundtracks for dance and theatre productions to projects for exhibitions and installations. In recent years, his research has moved closer to avant-garde electronic soundscapes, weaving together musical experimentation and a poetic dimension.
Abdullah Miniawy (born 1994) is an Egyptian expressionist, a writer, singer, composer, and actor. Over the years, he has shared the stage with acclaimed artists such as Erik Truffaz, Kamilya Jubran, Yom, Médéric Collignon, Aly Talibab, A Filetta, Hvad, Ziur, Simo Cell, and many others.
Abdullah's performances have graced prestigious international stages and venues, including the Festival d’Avignon edition 72, French national theaters, Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Haus Der Kunst museumin Munich, Mao Asian Museum in Turin, even the Louvre in Paris. In addition to his music career, Abdullah proved his natural acting talent in Alaadine Slim's Tlamess, a Tunisian feature film featured at the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019. As a composer, Abdullah has created different soundtracks for dance shows, theater productions, and exhibitions, including notable works like Cabaret Crusade III by Wael Shawki premiered at Moma PS1, AMDUAT by Kirsten Dehlholm premiered at Hotel Pro Forma, and Insurrection by Jilani Saadi. Since 2016, Abdullah has collaborated with the German trio Carl Gari, blending avant-garde electronic soundscapes with poetic lyrics. Most recently, Abdullah's album "Le Cri Du Caire," featuring Erik Truffaz, won LES VICTOIRES DU JAZZ 2023 award – the French equivalent of the Grammy Awards. As a writer, his lyrics have left a mark in the Middle East region, notably during the Arab Spring, where they were displayed in places like the Yarmouk camp in Syria.
