The Roots by Cie Accrorap

Saturday 23 September 2023, 7:00 PM

Supported by Embassy of France

Artistic Director and Choreographer: Kader Attou

Cie Accrorap is not just the foremost representative of French hip-hop and contemporary dance, it is a movement, a revolution, an evolution! Energetic, innovative and exciting, the group led by barrier-breaking dance pioneer Kader Attou will entrance you with The Roots, an 11-man acrobatic celebration encompassing unbelievable dance moves and astounding visual arts. 

An homage to the power of platonic male friendships and collaborations, The Roots doesn’t look back; rather it is a dance for tomorrow enriched by the journeys of its dazzling performers. 

Breakdance, locking, popping, yes of course, but also diverse, daring and sometimes gravity-defying moves borrowed from skating, burlesque movies, tap dance, boxing, and even miming. This effervescent hip hop performance is both spectacular and poetical, alternating speed and slow motion, and full of surprises.
