Hylel Company
In response to the film BAC Nord, the performance BACH NORD [Bring Out the Guitars] offers a reappropriation of the image of young people from working-class neighborhoods by themselves. This participatory project is a musical and dance work inspired by the music of Bach, navigating between drill and instrumental music. The starting point for the choreographic creation is the work carried out by the choreographer during workshops in schools and socio-educational settings with around one hundred teenagers from the northern neighborhoods of Marseille.

Additional Information
No reservation required, subject to availability.
The Hylel project aims to re-appropriate the image of people living in working-class neighborhoods. It raises the question of how invisibilized populations are represented in art and the media, and how many negative, dehumanizing images are projected onto them. Marina Gomes stages life stories which, for her, carry a strength and beauty that deserve to be highlighted, enhanced and sublimated. In an extremely divisive political climate, we urgently need to create dialogue and understanding between our different social and geographical worlds.
