A show by Soa Ratsifandrihana
(France/Madagascar, 45 min.)

2 shows for this event

Soa Ratsifandrihana’s first work is developed around the concept of groove, that rhythmic sequence that repeats cyclically and makes music pulsate like a heartbeat. The choreographer immerses herself in childhood memories of family dances made up of small, sophisticated gestures that were amplified by the relationship with the observer, while playfully letting herself go to a rhythm, that is composed of high-tech metallic sounds and instrumental echoes. The same connection is built on stage between the artist and the audience, by offering that pleasure and sense of sharing and closeness that only dance can create.

Soa Ratsifandrihana is a French-Malagasy dancer and choreographer. After studying at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, Soa started out as a dancer in creations by James Thierrée and Salia Sanou. She then joined Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker’s company Rosas. Among many productions, Soa dances Fase, which was named one of the ‘Best dances of 2019’ by the New York Times. Recently, she joined Boris Charmatz’s team, where she shared her approach to improvisation.
Alongside her work as a performer, Soa develops her own work. Today, she is based in Brussels where she has introduced her solo g r oo v e. At present, Soa is interested in movement, music and poetry. Through dance, she wants to achieve a synthesis between spontaneity and rigorous composition, against a background of history that resembles her.
