Created by visionary choreographer Mourad Merzouki, this show revisits the iconic Boxe Boxe by the Käfig Company and the Debussy Quartet, which explores the parallels between dance, boxing and classical music, infusing it with the vibrant energy of Brazil.
It offers a unique stage experience combining hip-hop dance, boxing movements and classical music, enriching the choreography with influences from Rio de Janeiro. The musical score, reimagined in collaboration with the Quatuor Debussy, accompanies this daring fusion. A true choreographic challenge, this show celebrates the power of dance to transcend genres, all carried by contagious energy and boundless creativity. Let the party begin!
