Into the Night: three works by Nacera Belaza - T1584058015This evening invites audiences to immerse themselves in the evocative world of Algerian choreographer Nacera Belaza, who returns to London in a partnership with Shubbak, the UK's premier festival of contemporary Arab culture. Composed of three recent works, Les Oiseaux, La Nuit and La Travers?e, this programme offers a chance to witness physical ideas unfold over a longer encounter. Central to Belaza's last 20 years of investigation is the search for freedom conveyed by a distinctive form of meditative minimalism, creating a thousand images without ever singling one out. | |
