| Choreographer | YannLheureux begins its dancer’s career in 1986, by creating street shows of dance hip-hop. He obtains in 1987 and 1988, the "solo international First prize" (Turin and Béthune) during the Choreographic Meetings of the French Federation of Dance.

These are the demands we place on each of our new creative projects. |

With “Flag”, Yann Lheureux continues his line of work questioning the relation between identity and territory. The excellent solos express their respective urban practices (hip-hop, BMX and Artistic motion). They appear in their vigor and virtuosity while exposing their fragility and sensitivity. Being separated and crossed by the same issues, we let resonate the impact of these three successive pieces. They raised the flag, neither belonged to their clan nor family, but the freedom. Through their practice for freedom, they try to across the geographical boundary. “Flag” is made up of three solos, each exploring urban practices while questioning on dramatic change between two representative contexts determined by |
