Eleven performers break free from dances born in urban spaces: hip-hop, waacking, coupé-décalé, electro…

They reinvent a space of encounter rooted in the new dances emerging from underground communities around the world.

The dancers move around several cubes that evoke both the façades of buildings in vast urban landscapes and the sound-system structures of free parties. The steps unfold with virtuosity to a reggae and electro soundtrack mixed live on stage by composer Awir Leon.
