Baroque and hip-hop bring about an atmosphere of folly. In a flurry of costumes and decors on a par with Italian theaters’ greatest machineries, nineteen artists execute a performance of epic proportions. The musicians’ strings, a soprano’s voice and the dancers’ steps – mixing hip-hop and classical repertoire – intertwine skillfully. From traditional South-American traditional melodies to electronic beats, choreographer Mourad Merzouki take it up a notch with an ever quicker and livelier pace, which carries this whole sophisticated crowd away into a final, mind-blowing whirlwind.

In the press
Le Monde
« L’effet est massif et sidérant. [...] Son atout monstre : la musique baroque, versant populaire, qui scande les entrées et sorties des interprètes. »
Culture Box
« Il y a des choses que l’on aimerait prolonger toute une nuit tant la beauté et la poésie sont rares. Mourad Merzouki sait à merveille convoquer ces deux perles de culture. Folia, sa nouvelle création fusionne savamment les territoires. »
