Pour Petites histoires.com, Kader Attou imagine un spectacle composé de saynètes qui évoquent le cinéma burlesque et de petites touches d’humour viennent rythmer les envolées chorégraphiques, de manière libre, légère, poétique et affranchie des codes.

“Short films have always interested me… What I like is that ability to tell stories in a very short time, erase what is superfluous, get to the heart of the matter… and seek an effect of surprise. For the time being, these are ideas that nurture my research, small stories in the form of sketches a little like these short films. Seek, find and tell in a very short time things buried deep inside me and in each of us… Awaken memories, words and aches, hear, hear yourself, spread out… When I was a child, I spent my time observing butterflies and my dream was to fly like them one day. I spent my time catching them one by one and gathering on my fingers the dust given off by their wings. I built myself cardboard wings with three bits of string and placed on them that magic powder which, for me, was the key that would help me fly… But I never did. Take voice and take one’s share of dreams in movement, dance on three small notes with that energy that is so unique to us while speaking of more or less serious things but in a non-serious way”. (Kader Attou)

For Petiteshistoires.com, Kader Attou imagines a show made up of small pieces. Some recount stories while others remain more abstract. The sketches evoke burlesque cinema, while small touches of humour rhythm the choreographic flights of fancy in a free, airy and poetic manner unfettered by codes. 

The things of life just like topicality have always been themes in Kader Attou’s work. Moving from one story to another, jumping from subject to subject, mixing performance, emotion and musicality in a rather burlesque show: that is the challenge.
