«"Over the past few years, the workshops I have conducted in France and Senegal have led me to encounter the prison environment of these two countries, as well as places of reception for people who have migrated between Africa and Europe.


Following these changes in environment, they shared with me their survival process in rebuilding their identities and forging new social connections. I witnessed moments where the therapeutic power of dance truly came to the fore, allowing for the expression of vulnerability, which then became a source of resilience.

In what ways are certain rituals used to transform everyday life and create new spaces of freedom?

I ponder the universality of movements and traditions that travel from Africa to Europe, like traces of existence, allowing us to recreate connections. I feel drawn to the words Memory, Heritage, Elevation, Rhythms, and ancestral traditions. For me, a question about the Whole, about the notion of community, about the place of the individual within the group, will emerge from this process. This is the precious material that fuels my drive toward a new adventure, both artistic and human.

Born from the march towards the emancipation of marginalized groups through creativity, dance and music, as a culture it now faces questions of transmission, memory work and preservation.

I have a desire to immerse myself body and soul in HipHop with its shifting contours, whose values of universality and collective elevation, central to its emergence, could still be the source of a way of coexisting, of being together.

With a deep, unwavering desire to share them again.
