The choreographer is taking the young Rudra Béjart school dancers on a metamorphic journey from Michelangelo to Keith Haring, including among others poètes maudits, censored or deported artists, and clowns.
Artistic creation, love, death and spirituality belong to that universal quartet that allows us to cross space-time boundaries and explore many dance techniques.
At the end, the young dancers will play percussions in live and dance a dynamic choreography created by Maurice Béjart : " Batucada"
