Carolyn Carlson and Brahim Bouchelaghem is above all a beautiful meeting, the meeting of two poets who recognize themselves in their art.

As a teenager, Brahim Bouchelaghem, born in Roubaix, discovered dance on television in the programme "H.I.P. H.O.P.". After many battles, he danced with Farid Berki, Mourad Merzouki and Kader Attou. In 2007, he presented Zahrbat, his first solo, in tribute to his father and founded his company. Thanks to his meeting and complicity with Carolyn Carlson, he is in companionship at the National Choreographic Center of Roubaix. For What did you say? Carolyn Carlson has written four poems and calligraphy evoking Brahim Bouchelaghem, an opportunity for him to look back in a subtle way on his career.

At the origin of this subtle solo, four, then eight poems by Carolyn Carlson on what Brahim Bouchelaghem evokes in her. He wants to look back on his own career, on what led him to let his personal style blossom. The dancer/choreographer in full bloom and in search of an expression that is always extremely sensitive, explores time as symbolized by this pair of sneakers placed in the middle of walking on the stage or these long calligraphy papers that parade. He traces his path with his chiseled and hybrid choreographic writing, guided by the voice of Carolyn Carlson in a refined aesthetic.

This solo is a link between the dreamlike and spiritual universe of the Blue Lady and the powerful and poetic hip hop of Brahim Bouchelaghem.
