360

With eight dancers, three musicians, a 360° stage design, and live electronic music by Lucie Antunes, Mehdi Kerkouche's new live music version breaks down the barriers between audience and performers.

360 Live Music, a unique immersive experience

Designed for a variety of venues—rooms without tiers, festivals, public spaces—and therefore adaptable to different configurations (indoors, outdoors, day or night), the show invites the audience to experience dance in a different way: standing all around the stage, moving, at the heart of the creation and, above all, together.

“I want an experience where the audience feels as alive as the artists.” - Mehdi Kerkouche

Note of intent

In my new creation, entitled 360, I explore the notion of community and the dynamics that unite us as a collective in an increasingly polarized world. Today, our interactions are often marked by extremes, whether through our notifications, public spaces, social networks, or the media. In response to this, I am convinced that live performance offers an unparalleled collective experience, a space where it is still possible to feel the power of unity.

360 aims to create an engaging atmosphere where the audience, standing and free to move around, is invited to move throughout the performance. This freedom allows everyone to enjoy a unique experience, similar to that of a concert, thus promoting an intimate connection with the artists and their world. The 360-degree scenography envelops the audience, offering them different perspectives and sensations, regardless of their location in the space. This setup invites everyone to engage fully in the creative process.

At the heart of this creation, eight dancers from diverse artistic backgrounds come together to forge a common language through dance. Transcending their original techniques, they create a living harmony, illustrating our ability to collaborate and celebrate the richness of working together.

360 is therefore an ode to exchange, encounter, and collective experience, a sensory journey that reminds us of the power of our unity in a changing world.
