Smell of Cement (extract) Creation 2023
Choreography, dance: Eman Hussein
A solo in which the dance reflects the link between the movement impacted by the daily gestures of the workers, their environment and their working conditions. The aim is to reveal the memory of repeated movement, pain and its emotional impact. The project, which is currently being created, was produced during Eman’s residency at the Cité Internationale in Paris between January and March 2023.
Eman Hussein is an independent dancer, choreographer and dance film-maker based in Cairo. She studied dance (Cairo Contemporary Dance Centre MAAT), street art (Nahda Arts School NAS), theatre (Helwan University) and martial arts (MESHKAH – Cairo).

Seismic (extract)
Concept, choreography and direction: Marie Gourdain & Felix Baumann
Performers : Felix Baumann, Sean Henderson, Till Jenewein, Halka Třešňáková
A project combining contemporary dance, physical theatre and set design in which the mechanics of the set generate interdependent relationships between the movement of the performers and the instability of the floor, reflecting a world on the brink of the abyss.
Marie Gourdain is a choreographer, set designer and visual artist based between Lyon and Prague. Her work combines her training in the visual arts (ENSAD) with contemporary dance, employing the tools of graphic and sculptural composition as well as a detailed analysis of movement. For Seismic she has teamed up with director and performer Felix Baumann, who is based between Berlin and Prague. He has been working as an independent artist on the international scene since 2016.

WITH US. Episode 1: Karel (65) meets David (25) (extract)

The company has been based in Cologne since 1999, under the artistic direction of Silke Z.

Sveinbjörg Thorahallsdóttir
(Iceland)
ROF (excerpt) – Creation 2021
Choreography: Sveinbjörg Thorahallsdóttir – Performer: Diljá Sveinsdóttir
What movement does she perceive? What narrative is the dancer embodying? What is her real movement? How can the movement of the mind reach its climax in relation to the notion or idea of time? The solo focuses on the dancer’s level of perception and awareness in relation to space and time.
Sveinbjörg Thorahallsdóttir holds a master’s degree in choreography from Fontys University in Holland. She has worked as a professional choreographer in Reykjavik theatres. After a period teaching at Iceland University of the Arts, she returned to the independent scene. Her solo ROF is the result of her IUA research and was premiered at the Reykjavik Dance Festival in 2021.
Kossivi Sénagbé Afiadegnigban
(Togo)
Between Heaven and Earth (extract) – Creation 2019
Choreography and performance: Kossivi Sénagbé Afiadegnigban
How do you put down roots while being uprooted? Kossivi Sénagbé Afiadegnigban’s choreography gives us the impression of moving forward without any real reference points, of being at a crossroads between the realities of today’s world and the roots drawn from his mother’s history and those of his ancestors.
Born into an animist family, Kossivi Sénagbé Afiadegnigban made his first contact with dance during vodou ceremonies and rituals. A 2016 graduate of Germaine Acogny’s École des Sables, he danced with choreographer Bintou Dembele in Ancestralité & afrofuturisme. Since 2019, Kossivi has been a companion of the CCN de Roubaix Haut de France, where he carries out creative residencies and works with students at the École Supérieure de Musique et de danse de Roubaix. At the same time, he is artistic director of the SOL’ŒIL d’AFRIK association.
