Teaser de Joga Bonito, création Moncef Zebiri (2024)

For this piece for five performers (four hip-hop dancers and one freestyle footballer), which combines hip-hop dance and freestyle football, Moncef Zebiri wants to immerse the audience in the atmosphere found in training sessions and football stadiums.

For the dance, Moncef Zebiri draws on different styles of hip-hop dance that blend perfectly with the passinho technique: top rock, house, breaking. The dancers will use the ball, while the freestyler will learn hip-hop techniques, so that the audience will no longer be able to tell the dancers apart from the freestyler. Performance and technique will be emphasized in the dance, to recreate the feeling of a soccer match. Vibrant, musical ensembles, moments imbued with poetry, and technical feats of breakdancing and freestyle: this piece, both physical and warm, deploys a diversity of rhythms on stage to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
