Cie Racines Carrées
ça déménage !
Cie Racines Carrées - Nabil Ouelhadj
Under construction, like a life time spent building and deconstructing! A “moving out” like choreography, where the enjoyment of play, gives away to the unexpected. Full box and full of boxes for an atypical walk into a multiple architectural memory. « An allegory of universality » both diverse and unique as it emerged from nuances in music, poetry and movement.
Research, experimentation of hip-hop dance on and around a trampoline that becomes a breathe and limitation for dance movements, supported by the musicality of gestures. An instable dance variation, “moving” and lively on canvas, giving the audience an atypical vision of a choreographic expression. Bodies thrown in the air as if put into orbit, a shifting stage design and an organizational hazard.
“Ça déménage” (“It’s moving out”) is a dynamic, spontaneous and poetic urban dance that liberates itself from stereotypical aesthetic expectations. An engaged piece which transcends so that Art becomes a window for all.
« An allegory of universality » both diverse and unique as it emerged from nuances in music, poetry and movement.
