A hip-hop dance experience to discover in Langon

Compulsory walk offers a unique approach to dance. The eight performers move forward together in a continuous flow. Their paths cross, diverge and come together again, giving rise to a succession of collective formations.

Popping plays a central role in this choreography. This technique lends the performance a distinct visual language, based on the contraction, freezing and release of the body. Electronic music accompanies the movements and helps to create a rhythmic and immersive atmosphere.

According to the presentation put forward by The CDCN Nouvelle-Aquitaine Bordeaux-La Rochelle Production Company, the production focuses in particular on the relationship between the individual and the group. Beyond the physical performance, the show therefore invites the audience to observe how each person finds their place within a collective movement.
