Soa is a Franco-Malagasy dancer and choreographer based in Brussels, and Kerem is a dancer from Turkey based in Paris. They discussed their featured work from Dance Reflections. We'll hear them discuss how they use the term interpreter in place of choreographer or dancer, and how their work integrates personal and cultural archives.
