Description
Men in make-up and wigs twirl in colourful robes to applause on stage in Morocco to resurrect the musical art of "Aita", challenging gender stereotypes in the conservative Muslim-majority kingdom.
Members of the all-male "Kabareh Cheikhats" troupe, including singers, actors and dancers, hope their unique performances of an art once dominated by women can revive the tradition. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
