Erè mèla mèla

You will find mischief and various effects in “Erè mèla mèla”; which mixes efficiently modern aesthetics to the appeal of middle-east tales.

Choreographer and interpreter for the Nederlands Dans Theater, Lionel Hoche likes to depict twin universes and dual life histories. In this film, he imagines an original scenario, which borders on parody, to evoke these strange feelings that make hearts beat. The story unfolds at a spirited pace, matching the tempo of Mahmoud Ahmed’s music. 

Mischief and many special effects feature in Erè mèla mèla, which effectively combines contemporary aesthetics with the flavours of oriental tales. In a sixties style apartment, furnished with brightly coloured objects, two men face each other. While a smooth melody distils syncopations and undulations, the dancers have fun diverting everyday objects from their customary use. This dreamy, playful and amorous atmosphere leads to all kinds of visions and enchantments. Body games, incongruous situations, disappearances and unexpected liaisons pass through the image with sparkling freshness.
