Mister Ex delves into this particle that serves as its identity. It offers us a reading of a gestural writing with internal focus: via Mister Ex, through Mister Ex, this solo expresses the traces of multiple imprints.

The body is presented as the vector of a past, that of a black man at the confluences of Western and African culture. The body asserts itself as the driving force of its present in a dance mixing its jazz legacy and its contemporary rooting.

In this work, the danced monologue sets out movement as a go-between leading to a free identity, nurtured by its history and its cultural diversity, and whose treatment is imbued with all the singularity of a personal and intimate introspection.”
