"Pleine Lune" brings together dancers and choreographers Toto (Mohamed Mahmud Mohamed Ibrahim) and Islam Elarabi for the first time around a shared passion: mahraganat.
A choreographic and musical aesthetic rejected by the establishment but wildly popular, transcended on stage by the dancers and choreographers who interweave their energy, expressive power and emotions to invent “an essential language of expression – organic, free and beautiful in its raw violence and truth”.
Here, the alliance of mahraganat, martial arts and contemporary dance plunges the performers into a kind of bare-knuckle combat, where each competes with the other in pride and power, sometimes in defiance or irony… The duet traverses the various states of a human trajectory marked by separation or loss, inner conflict, rebellion, transformation and, as a final act, resolution, when man reconciles with his past (himself) and with the present (society). A harmonious conclusion imagined by two artists who have made their paths and lives a living source of creation.
