L’Autre

Hip-hop and Chinese pole duo
Creation 2020
30 min
Outdoor duo

João Paulo Santos meets hip-hop dancer Iliass Mjouti on a carte blanche.

They did not choose each other, but chance brought them together on a stage.

L’Autre explores the relationship between two individuals who move in different spaces, one horizontal and the other vertical. This hip-hop and Chinese pole duo focuses on the third space, which is opened up by the confrontation, as brutal as it is fraternal, of two bodies seeking a meeting point. They test each other, measure each other, hope for each other, join each other, in a hybrid and suspended choreography.
