Balkis Moutashar

If there’s nothing exceptional, what do we have to share?
If there’s no virtuosity, no head-spinning, no beautiful style, no big words, what is dance made of, and what are we talking about?

Presentation

If there’s nothing exceptional, what do we have to share? If there’s no virtuosity, no head-spinning, no beautiful style, no big words, what is dance made of, and what are we talking about?

Balkis Moutashar, choreographer and dancer, invites Lucie Rico, author, to a duo which mixes words and movements. A duo made of subtle gestures, tiny modulations, and light arrangements, in search of the special flavour of a certain form of simplicity, and of what’s at stake below the extraordinary, the prodigious, the remarkable, the superior.
