‘Sur le fil’

Persisting in a logic of personal introspection which leads her to the Other, in this trio Sur le fil, Nacera Belaza once again experiences shared transcendence with two other female performers and the audience. Since her very first performances her dance, which is both telluric and meditative and which stretches the body to its extremes thus enabling it to go beyond the live experience, shows the way like others might work the earth. She is elsewhere and takes the audience with her along those quiet routes in a contemporary trance.

Born in Algeria, Nacera Belaza has lived in France since the age of five. After studying Modern Languages at the University of Reims, she set up her own company in 1989. She was made Chevalier of the order of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture in January 2015. Nacera Belaza develops artistic actions and creations in multiple forms, from master classes to performances in situ. Indeed, Nacera Belaza’s career has been a constant backwards and forwards between Algeria and France.
