Phénix - Mourad Merzouki

With Phénix, choreographer Mourad Merzouki pushes the boundaries of dance disciplines. Both poetic and explosive, this creation brings together four dancers and a live viola da gamba on stage, creating a surprising dialogue between urban dance and Baroque sounds. “I wanted to bring together completely opposite disciplines in order to create a light and singular form. In an intimate atmosphere, the artists cross their worlds and present a unique work, elevated by their alchemy.” — Mourad Merzouki Phénix was first presented to audiences in September 2022 during the Festival d’Ambronay in France. Since then, the production has become a true favorite on international stages. In an intimate, almost chamber-music atmosphere, the artists move through space in spirals and rotations, crossing worlds and giving birth to a new form that is both light and daring. Phénix is intended for a wide audience aged seven and above. The performance invites audiences to take a fresh look at dance, music, and the space that connects them.
