Kader Attou and his Cie Accrorap is one of the foremost representatives of French hip hop/contemporary dance.
Their dance expression is a synthesis of street dance, acrobatics and contemporary dance. The Roots treats us to 11 exceptional dancers on stage, each with a particular style. The universe on stage is made up of everyday things – a table, an LP crackling on a turntable – childhood memories. The music plays a key role as it moves and convenes the dancers: Brahms, Beethoven, and electro-funk – the melodies open doors to a community in the dance. The Roots is an explosive performance, like a journey into the core of street dance: physical accomplishment, cohesion and dancing pleasure.
