Nexus – En quête d’une voie is a sensory and physical, almost spiritual experience, a performance about the fragility of the human mind.
Four performers take to the stage, bringing new imaginary worlds to life through a distorted perception of reality. They balance on a knife-edge; everything unfolds in a breath, within inner worlds shaped by an altered perception, where bodies move, speak and scream in silence.
Oumar Diallo’s work plays with the fragile value of the moment, breaking down the wall that separates audiences from performers, and using movement, words and embodiment to bring it to life.
Oumar Diallo’s dance, born in the streets and clubs, is resolutely of its time. Nexus – En quête d’une voie is his first group work, following his much-talked-about duo Kifesh 2.0 (2024).
Oumar Diallo received the Roel Verniers Prize, awarded by the Theaterfestival / KVS to encourage emerging artists, for his project NEXUS – En quête d’une voie.
