With Coquilles, Amala Dianor has created a piece for young children at the crossroads of contemporary dance and hip hop. Lulled by the tales and songs of Senegalese griots, the choreographer shares this heritage so that young children can discover a world without borders. Music and movement merge into a gentle harmony that encourages the imagination to unfold. It’s an invitation to explore what surrounds us.
