Dance - Matière(s) première(s)

The choreographer returns with her virtuoso and chiseled urban writing and adds the power and timeless beauty of African dances.

Carried away by the hectic rhythm of an excellent soundtrack alternating Afro-Cuban music, rap or electro, six performers evoke the balance of power between Africa and the West, the mechanisms of post-colonial domination and the plundering of resources.

From impotent rage to prayers for ancestors, from the reconstruction of flouted identities to the visceral necessity of dancing in order not to submit, three men and three women with converging backgrounds and issues come together to exorcise their demons and summon life .

The raw material of this show, African dances are sensual, frenetic, anchored in multicultural roots that are both traditional and urban and thrill young people around the world.

In this powerful ballet, the dance is as subtle as it is explosive!
