Leïla Ka revisits her own career as a dancer and explores the difficulty of being oneself, of assembling one’s own being and of overcoming one’s contradictions.

This freedom is tantamount to a promise for which the choreographer reveals some important principles: controlled energy, a density of presence, an art of being there.
