Rive

Dalila Belaza unleashes her joyful trance for the first time on the Maison de la Danse stage in a nine-dancer fresco. Having performed for two decades with her sister, Nacera, Dalila Beleza has become keen to create her own choreographic work over the past several years. She seeks out the intimate and the mysterious within us. 

Rive is a dialogue between light, dance and space, a rigorous and inspirational journey. Using the 'pas de bourrée' dance step as her starting point, the choreographer creates a rhythmic trance that spreads through all nine performers, like sparks feeding a fire. More than a show, Rive is a sensory and poetic experience where bodies move alone or in unison. The unseen and the unsettling radiate from these gestures of exceptional presence. Rive is an invitation to an enchanting journey, combining traditional and contemporary dance in a shared momentum.
