The Roots Performance at Al Madina Theatre

As part of the Beirut International Platform of Dance (BIPOD) 2013, Al Madina Theatre will be hosting a performance of the dance show “The Roots” by Kader Attou and the Accrorap Dance Company.

First and foremost, The Roots is a human adventure, a journey enacted by eleven exceptional hip-hop dancers. Chapter after chapter, the actual performance transforms, opens up new horizons and brings the spectator elsewhere. This universe consists of ordinary settings: a table, a crackling vinyl record on a turntable, childhood memories.

Music plays a crucial part, stirring and calling for the unity of dancers: Brahms, Beethoven, electro music, all these melodies open doors to a dancing mankind.
