The Whisper of Dreams
Kader Attou, a giant in the world of hip-hop dance, opens up his repertoire to childhood experiences. Using his own memories as a starting point, he blends dance, music and animated illustrations to build an enchanting world. The paper motifs come to life on stage, the quilt contorts and the dancers move among ghosts and fantastic creatures. A dreamlike journey all the family will love.

PRESS QUOTES
“An astonishing exploration by this artist who continues to believe in the suggestive powers of hip-hop to portray the most delicate of universes.”
Télérama, 28 November 2023
“Once again, the choreographer Kader Attou has not displayed power or exercised his virtuosity. His hip-hop has the delicatesse of the pillow feathers escaping from childhood games, it reveals and honours the elasticity of bodies, the amplitude of movements, from breaks to undulations. Never compliant, his dance draws upon contemporary and even classical dance, to better escape the shrines of knowledge and to nourish his own sensitive DNA.”
