“[Nacera Belaza] explores the boundaries between embodied presence and the ecstatic emptiness toward which dance, and movement, can lead us.” —New Yorker
Internationally revered for her powerfully abstract work, Nacera Belaza draws a path between shadow and light, using a rigorous focus to create a bond between performance and ceremony. In L’Onde, the French Algerian choreographer immerses five dancers in a darkened theater for a mesmerizing meditation on the body’s capacity for transformation. A hypnotic soundscape pairs with spellbinding, minimalist choreography that nods to Algerian ritualistic dances while blending tradition with modernity for a captivating and encompassing piece.
