Synopsis
On stage, five performers challenge conventions and redefine norms of the dancing body. With XXL, choreographer Sofiane Chalal explores, with sensitivity, the ways in which larger bodies are perceived. Between power and precision, the performers deliver an energetic dance, shaped by their personal journeys and differences. Driven by a writing style that is both engaged and humorous, the piece celebrates self-acceptance and the strength of the collective.
