CIE CHATHA – ARISTIDE & BASTIEN DUO

If this artistic duo still has the name of its performers, it is because both of them have already performed for the choreographers of Toi & moi and D’eux but today they have made a new resolution. This time, these hip-hop dancers, through their choreography in spirals of arms and obsessive dance, are performing a brand new energy. This is the energy born from the encounter of these two fine and poetic personalities and from their powerful relationship with gravity. Starting from this point, a beautiful vibration has been created, through their double and troublesome performance.

In 2022, after having created Fraters, a performance for a group dance for six dancers from the Hip-Hop group coming from the Conservatoire Régional de Chalon sur Saône, Aïcha M’Barek and Hafiz Dhaou wanted to create a pas de deux for two dancers from this group. Both choreographers understood the particular energy emitted by these two men. Their poetic bodies constantly challenge gravity and balance, they intertwin to create a movement, hybrid and inspiring forms, always alive and dynamic, always on the edge of trance, always so similar to their personality.
