AUSTRIAN PREMIERE

Dance/Hip Hop  Seven silhouettes move in the half light on stage: they are supple, precise and have a finesse that seems almost feline. With his choreographic debut Wild Cat, Saïdo Lehlouh pays tribute to the Parisian b-boying scene that represented a new, more refined version of hip-hop in the mid-1990s. In doing so, the French choreographer breaks with stereotypical visions of masculinity and cultivates an unexpectedly soft, flowing movement vocabulary with his exclusively male ensemble. An urban dance piece that celebrates the poetry of the fleeting moment.
