Dalila Belaza

Through dance, Dalila Belaza seeks utopian territory where the intimate and the universal meet as two infinite horizons. She first made a name for herself as a performer and the artistic partner of her sister, the choreographer Nacera Belaza. Together, they paved a significant path in the choreographic landscape through their investigation into the deep memories of the body and a dance inhabited by a limitless inner space. Drawing on this foundation, Belaza felt the need over time to give voice and form to her own questions. This trajectory has led her to pursue various lines of inquiry, extending this field of being to other realities.



For several years now, Belaza has been directing her own projects and developing work that probes the theme of identity and explores the dialogue between ritual dance and abstraction. At the end of 2020, Dalila Belaza founded hiya compagnie to ensure the development and sustainability of her personal projects. Since then, she has created three shows, Au cœur, Figures and Rive which blend the languages of folk dance and contemporary dance. These shows depict an adventure, both artistic and philosophical.
