The Moroccan artists Hamza El Alouani and Chaouki Amellal invite the public to dive with them into their dreams and emotions through what makes them vibrate every day: dance, circus and human relationships. They propose a geometric aesthetic where the circle symbolizes the portal to several imaginary universes and where play is the key to crossing them.

The Foehn Company is an emerging theatre and circus collective bringing together artists from various backgrounds. It develops multidisciplinary and multicultural approaches by exploring materials and bodies as their primary language.

The Foehn is a warm wind from the Sahara that blows all the way to the Alps. The company's history has its roots in various origins, from North to South. Like the wind, you never know where you're going to land once it takes you away!

 

Chaouki Amellal has trained in gymnastics, breakdance, contemporary dance, and hip-hop. He attended the National Circus School "Shems'y" in Rabat, specializing in the Cyr wheel. Comfortable in both dance and circus arts, he has participated in several projects, including Farwell for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with Cie Kafig.
