Spectacle de danse : Prélude

"Prelude" is born of a breath, a first cry, and the essence of life. In this work, choreographer Kader Attou revisits his journey: his childhood in the suburbs of Lyon, his discovery of boxing, the beauty of movement, Chaplin’s films, and the power of hip-hop as a space for emancipation.%A0

As director of the Accrorap Company, Kader Attou has helped transform hip-hop into a new dance genre, viewing it not only as an art form and a field of research but also as a means of bearing witness to the human condition and reflecting on social issues.

His new creation, *Prélude*, unfolds like a breath. Carried by Romain Dubois’s electroacoustic music, it begins in silence and builds in intensity. The nine dancers embody a humanity in tension: the choreography becomes a metaphor for struggle—physical, poetic, and fraternal.

Choreography by Kader Attou With Antuf “Jikay” Hassani, Azdine Bouncer, Alexis de Saint-Jean, Damien Bourletsis, Simon Hernandez, Aline Lopes, Yann Miettaux, Nabjibe Said, Alexia Lambert Music by Romain Dubois Lighting by Cécile Giovansili-Vissière
