Far from being just an artistic style, hip hop is also a cross-genre movement.
Famed choreographer Kader Attou was the first dance professional
with a background in hip hop that was appointed director of Centre
Chorégraphique National de La Rochelle. His work The Roots vividly
brings to life the artist’s long personal history with hip hop – a history
comprised of childhood memories, dance experimentations, and cultural
exchanges. In the Greek version of the performance, set to premiere at
the Athens Epidaurus Festival, Attou will work with Greek professional
street dancers, giving us the opportunity to come in contact with this fascinating
scene. The performance was first presented in France by Attou’s
Accrorap dance company and was enthusiastically received by the Kalamata
International Dance Festival audience in 2019.
