MIRACLES
BOUBA LANDRILLE TCHOUDA
What makes each word, each gesture convey in itself a potential for the marvelous and can take us towards unexpected to horizons?
Miracles does not allude to unexplained facts attributed to a divine power, but about dances and about the link between what we dance and what we see, hear, feel. The bodies go along with each other, experience each other, collide and end up producing new spaces to reinvest.
Bubbling with energy while distilling an infinite sweetness, this trio surfs on a ridge where hip-hop, contemporary dance and circus art compose an intimate and poetic story.
In a singular scenic device, the three performers explore, by a back and forth between the intimate and the exterior, the question of interdependence, which jostles us as much as it enriches us. The opportunity to celebrate miracles of everyday life.

Company presentation
the malka compagny is pursuing a moving reflection around dances’ proximities, languages, communities, human beings, through urban dances energies. Our dance is a “dance to say”, a dance of opening and mixing, a dance beyond human races and borders, also a dance nourished by movements that have travelled down dances through the twentieth century.
BOUBA LANDRILLE TCHOUDA - Choreography artistic director
“I need to meet different people on a daily basis. I create a dance from the melting pot’s society I
like to observe”.
As for a lot of hip-hop dancers, he starts his self-taught apprenticeship. Ever curious, he moved to
Salvador de Bahia and to Fortaleza (Brazil) to study Capoeira. In 1995, he decides to create his first
company ACA in Saint-Martin d’Hères with Habib Adel, a dancer of the same generation. Their first
creation, Old Up, is performed in 1996 in Paris within the framework Danse Ville Danse, which
opens up the French professional sector to them.
Bouba Landrille Tchouda is an intense dancer and a rational choreographer. He approaches dance
through a multitude of facets and carry a powerful work that mixes hip-hop, capoeira and
contemporary dance. His mixed career path, made of original encounters, nourishes his unlimited
investigations of dance language possibilities, trying to push its limits, to break through barriers. He
collaborates with artists of various aesthetics such as Accrorap Company as a dancer-
choreographer, or Jean-Claude Gallotta, and more recently with circus companies ( Le Cirque Plume, la Compagnie des Grandes Personnes). He belongs to the hip –hop dancers & choreographers movement who has been able to develop a singular contemporary choreographic writing.
