A performance on the theme of Roots – a symbolism which can be read in many different ways – choreographed by Kader Attou, the most fanatical representative of French hip-hop culture. Roots is a human adventure, full of rhythm and movement. A journey through experience, featuring 11 exceptional dancers who incorporate in their performance elements from many different kinds of dance: contemporary, hip-hop, breakdance. The music, too, a marriage of classical and electronic, plays a crucial role.
