CIA. NASSANGAR

In her first creation as a choreographer, international whacking icon Mounia Nassangar explores the power of dance as an expressive tool when words cannot come out. This research connects directly with the history of whacking, a dance of urgency and resistance born out of oppression, and unfolds on stage through five performers who give body to their own experiences and identities.

STUCK is a piece about resistance, fragility and the need to express oneself when everything seems blocked. An intimate and collective journey through movement.
