Ouili NANA & Raphaël SAINT-LAURENT

Duration

25 Minutes

What are we seeking? Happiness? Better living conditions? A more environmentally friendly lifestyle? It is difficult, at first glance, to be aware of what we are really looking for. Through dance, we explore and expose this reflection for ourselves and for our spectators. This imprecise and constant search is therefore the theme of "Cherche en Corps.".

Attraction-Repulsion; Similarity-Difference; Known-Unknown; Contradiction-Concordance. It is with these tensions that Ouili and Raphaël play and create their own way of physically approaching situations. And it is these games and sometimes these results that "Cherche en Corps" shows to the public.

The dancers

Influenced by contemporary dance and somatic practices, B-boy Raphaël is a deconstructivist at heart. His work offers original alternatives through a unique exploration of the body, blending aesthetics and philosophy.

As a seasoned B-boy with an athletic background, Ouili effortlessly blends popping, waacking, and house into a distinctive and innovative dance style. His performances are sure to captivate audiences.
