C'est ça la vie !?

At a time when the media are inflicting upon us the misfortune and hatred of the world, the question of our own future has never been as relevant as it is today. Youth owes itself an ideal; ours resounds like a slogan: united to advance!

Artistic director Riyad Fghani Dance performance Pockemon Crew At a time when the media are inflicting upon us the misfortune and hatred of the world, the question of our own future has never been as relevant as it is today. Youth owes itself an ideal; ours resounds like a slogan: united to advance! Our lives are like illegible scenarios which predestine our story, a moment when everything can come to a stop and in which we draw on a mad rage in order to continue upon our way. It is the idea of being together which attracts us and makes us stronger. Each one of us becomes a source of inspiration to others. So we dance, and searching for our movements in the exploration of our art seems derisory in the face of all that is going on around us, but when we dance we are current affairs. Through this piece our modest intention is to create an awareness of our capacity for reflection and creation that leads us to the following observation: we are not to be spectators but actors in our own lives, in spite of all adversity.Source : Biennale de la Danse programme
