"Once upon a time" by Stormfrom November 5th to 10th, 2007 at CND

The expression, in every language and all over the world, sets the tone: "Once upon a time". The magical formula immediately drags us in a litterary genre: fairy tale. Storm created this new creation, a franco-german project resulting from a partnership between MOOV’N AKTION, association dedicated to the development of the Hip-Hop culture, the Hebbel am Ufer theatre in Berlin and the CND in Paris / Pantin.

Through out dance, music and video, the berlin choregrapher uses our fairy tales' collective imagination to create a contemporary fable. 4 interpreters form Berlin and 2 parisian dancers are invited to the creation adventure and spend some time in residence in both countries. They are joined in every town by a group of amateur children and adolescents. The goal is to show youngsters how to blend in today's society leveraging artistic group work. This integration method, federated by the german choregrapher, is also betting on european cultural exchanges. This way, mondern fairy tales may allow anyone to entrust their dreams. text by Irène Filiberti

Interpreted byHassan Akkouch, Mehdi «Spirit» Baki, Louis Becker, Rainer Laumann, Mustapha «Darwin» Lehlouh, Abraham «Abby» Marte and a Seine-Saint-Denis children group.
