“Amala Dianor finds the right tone to give the youngest audiences the possibility of curiosity about the world and openness to new experiences.”
— Nathalie Yokel La Terrasse
Created for audiences as young as one year old this rousing piece for two dancers crafts a graceful accessible story of contrasting physicality shared language and connection across difference. Choreographer Amala Dianor got his start in the hip-hop battle scene and brings that energy to this thrilling interplay of street-influenced movement and balletic form incorporating props and costumes that riff playfully on the natural world.

Amala Dianor: After starting out as a hip-hop dancer Amala Dianor spent 10 years performing with a number of choreographers in very different worlds including hip hop neo-classical contemporary and Afro-contemporary. In 2011 he won two prizes for his first choreography and in 2012 he founded his own company. In 2023 he was awarded a Villa Albertine residency alongside photographer Grégoire Korganow.
Milane Cathala-Di Fabrizio started out learning classical dance at her local conservatoire in Bordeaux. She then trained in contemporary dance under Alain Gonotey and performed for Charlie Le Mindu and Andrey Bartenev. She joined the national contemporary dance centre (CNDC) in Angers. During this time she danced in a film for Philippe Decouflé. After leaving the school she reprised the piece Coup de Grâce by Michel Kelemenis and continued creating a solo Joystick. She participated in the creation of D’un Rêve by Salia Sanou and reprised her role in The Falling Stardust for Amala Dianor.
Estanis Radureau born in 2002 discovered his passion for b-boying and hip hop culture at the age of 11 in Niort. Trained as a dancer and teacher from the age of 15 in a local company he continued his training as a performer in Lyon while defending the main values: “peace love unity and havin’ fun.”
