L’Autre explores the connection of two bodies and, at the same time, the confrontation between them. Dynamic and minimalist movement fills the space of the Museum Court courtyard with strong emotions and tell a unique story about brotherhood.
João Paulo Santos invited Iliasse Mjouti to co-create a duet based on the spontaneity and energy of their original encounter. L’Autre explores the relationship between two individuals, who developed in different spaces, one horizontal, the other vertical. It is a connection between hip hop dance and the Chinese pole, which thus creates a third space. The dancers grapple with one another and measure their strength, simultaneously united in a hybrid, suspended choreography that offers two possible readings of the story, two views on the same situation or emotion.
