Taking gumboot, pantsula, gnawa and other traditional dances as a starting point, Bouziane Bouteldja explores bodies in perpetual movement and ancient rituals, while dancing and hoping for better days. Using natural elements and materials such as water, soil, and sand, the French choreographer creates a piece which alludes to the history of the Sapiens, questioning the history of migrations and the big movements of exploration of the world. It creates a connection between the past and the present, exploring the motivations of these movements and interrogating our perception of the Other. — Bouziane Bouteldja
