And why not, dancing humanity. In 1994, twenty-year-old Kader Attou came to the Lyon Dance Biennale with his very first creation: Athina or hip-hop put to the test of the stage, with a token of legitimacy a meeting between his practice and dance. classic. Twenty years later, history has given way to hip-hop and Kader Attou, now at the head of a National Choreographic Center, gives himself the means to set this conquest in stone. In the wake of The Roots (2013), his Opus 14 takes stock of his career with 16 dancers for maximum occupancy of the stage and a hip-hop energy like dancing humanity. " I want to show that this raw energy can be something other than performance. It is a dance that can be poetic, slow, fragile, sensual ”. And as a backdrop: Shaun Tan's comic book, Where our fathers go (Dargaud). Less for the subject of this initiatory tale - immigration - than for its silent form, held by the sheer power of images. Question: how can the body take over? In the end, on stage: a group of dancers in total fusion, original music, scenography inspired by comics and a title that announces its own referencing. It is the idea of repertoire that points, and with it the firm inscription of hip-hop in the history of dance. MF "Au début le hip-hop était une danse contestataire, une manière aussi de canaliser une énergie qui aurait pu s’éparpiller et c’est toujours le cas. Mais nous ne sommes plus en 1984, elle a grandi, muri, s’est frottée à d’autres choses. C’est une exception culturelle française" Kader Attou.
