Rencontre : Kader Attou & Andrés Marin

Quand l’intensité poétique de Kader Attou vient se frotter aux énergies brûlantes du flamenco d’Andrés Marin, tout en retenue, tensions et fulgurances. La rencontre d’un pionnier du hip hop avec l’un des artistes les plus significatifs du flamenco actuel.

At the height of his flamenco career, Andrés Marín set off on a pilgrimage to the mythical sources of his art — Yātrā means journey in Sanskrit — and exposed himself to a perfectly mastered pas de deux with the dancers of Kader Attou’s company. The two choreographers met in order to immerse themselves in each other’s aesthetics and look with contemporary eyes at their own dance to better rediscover its essential aspects and intensity. This dialogue between the solar and refined hip hop of Kader Attou and the iconoclastic flamenco of Andrés Marín is carried along by the breath of the musical and vocal jousts of the Ensemble Divana, a magnificent formation of traditional musicians from Rajasthan. A rare adventure — commissioned by the Philharmonie de Paris — where opposites unite to form a show in which each retains their living forces while opening up to the other.
