Editorial

Casablanca, an exhilarating The sun is scarcely above the horizon and Casablanca is already waking up. Little red taxis play dodgems at the feet of the white city’s ultra-modern buildings. There is no escaping the allure of its grandeur, its pure energy, and all of a sudden we ourselves are imbued with the same heady dynamism.

Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set.

Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its buildings are enough to cast a spell over them. The richness of the city’s architectural heritage is sufficient in itself to call forth the image of a city where time has no hold. Charged with In Casablanca, modern history yet resolutely turned towards the future, this most cosmopolitan of cities, buildings stand side where every nationality is represented, parades its modernity for all to see. by side with Arab-An- dalusian architecture and Art Deco creations ’s economic nerve centre and keeper of a unique historical heritage, from the 1920s Casablanca reveals all of its many faces to us. 6 7

On the track of “Casablanca” the film In the middle of the Second World War, Casablanca provided the background for the tragic love story of Rick and Ilsa. This is fiction we’re talking about, of course! It was in 1942 that made “Casablanca”, in which and portrayed the romantic hero and heroine torn between love and duty. The film was an immediate success and the city of Casablanca was thenceforth associated with the romantic image given to it by the cinema of the 1940s, although not a single scene in the movie was actually shot there.

Over fifty years later, the famous film continues to haunt tourists’ imagination. But now, however, fiction has become reality. The legendary “Rick’s Café” has been faithfully recreated on the edge of the old medina. Step over the threshold and let your imagination do the rest… 14 15
