Transe

Imagine an almost perfect simbiosis between contemporary dance and hip hop, throw in a perfectly pitched soundtrack, blending classic arabic music (Umm Kulthum, Farid Al Atrash) with electro and sufi chants, poetry from the palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwich, and a set of seven talented dancers. What you get is TRANSE, a dance performance by Cie Massala, established by Moroccan dancer and choreographer Fouad Boussouf. Last friday they were in Geneva, Salle de Lignon, for a single performance. If you have a chance to catch them again, in a venue close to you, don't hesitate a minute.

Stalker

Stalker, Tarkovsky's greatest sci-fi classic, just had a HD revamp. The perfect occasion to watch again this mystical, visually striking science fiction film. One of my favorite films ever.
