Meeting hip-hop culture
It is presented by its choreographer Mehdi Diouri together with one or two other dancers. They talk about hip-hop culture and, through their own journeys and viewpoints, draw historical, philosophical and sociological connections. They introduce (or reintroduce) you to the musical influences of the movement, and you are immersed in their stories as they dance and speak with passion!
We talk, we dance… we live hip-hop
WE TALK… about this culture, in a participatory format that takes the audience to the heart of this cultural movement, its history and its universal values.
WE DANCE… hip-hop and its street-inspired moves. A popular dance, recognised for its energy and its cultural impact.
WE LIVE HIP-HOP, a global phenomenon that has crossed generations and borders, adapting to different settings to become a true social phenomenon.
Artists’ testimonies
Drawing on the variety of backgrounds, the field experience and the personal attachment of each of the Compagnie MehDia artists to hip-hop culture, this lecture brings all these experiences together. These spoken and physical testimonies offer personal, authentic perspectives on both the “underground” scene and the world of creation.
