Almataha

Three characters are searching for their own identity. Sometimes insecure, other times confident. New encounters, trials and unexpected twists give colour to the quest. A journey that begins in childhood.

Inspired by stories from Greek mythology, choreographer and hip-hop dancer Brahim Bouchelaghem created a poetic performance for three dancers and a puppet about the path each of us has to take. An intriguing performance combining hip-hop, object theatre and puppetry in a unique way.

Compagnie Zahrbat is a contemporary hip-hop dance company founded in December 2005. Artistic director Brahim Bouchelaghem continues to explore and revisit the aesthetics of hip-hop dance, opening up to other disciplines and aesthetics without losing sight of hip-hop's origins. The company enjoys national and international recognition.
