Imagine a future where gravity is reversed… Sound travels at the speed of light and the shock wave becomes visible.
Explore worlds where movement unleashes a rhythm, each gesture draws a note, a simple step traces a chord.
In 2097, the dance of bodies is music made visible.
How am I going to get ideas?
So I imagined all these DJ's from outer space. What would their style be?
Since Earth is like a kind of primitive planet, what about the more advanced civilization?
How does their music sound?
So I would imagine it, whatever they are doing, and I guess that's how I come up with my ideas.
DJ Qbert
“Dance can reveal all the mystery that music holds, and it also has the merit of being human and tangible. Dance is poetry with arms and legs; it is matter, graceful and terrible, animated, embellished by movement.”
Charles Baudelaire
The crew of the spaceship "POTSIKEI 2097" is a variable entity!
This dynamic form is presented with dancers from Paris and Bordeaux.
They are all professional performing artists, rising stars of the current hip-hop and electro scene.
ISMA
Isma began his dance career at 13 alongside Joseph N'Tumba, a member of the Tribal Jam group, where he discovered hip-hop and learned the foundations of jazz and jazz-rock.
At 19, he joined the Rêvolution company's dancer training program for two years, also training with various performing artists. He explored electro dance to enrich his style, creating a hybrid material imbued with a 90s flow and the energy of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".
Passing on his knowledge is particularly important to him, and his joyful sharing takes on its full meaning around dance, giving him an additional reason to display his famous Colgate Ultra Brite smile.
Currently, he alternates between working with companies (Cie K'rrousel, Cie Rêvolution, Growl Up France) and battles (Red Bull Dance Your Style, Level Up).
KOISSO
Energetic and passionate about art from a young age, Koïsso Sery found her calling in music and dance. She explores different dance styles such as African dance, hip-hop, contemporary dance, and krump.

She continues her development through teaching within the Cultural Ambassador training program in Cergy. This includes battles, workshops, shows, and filming.
MEGAN
A dancer and performer in numerous companies such as Pockemon Crew, 1 Des Si, Paradoxal or Poisson Buffle, Megan Deprez began her journey with academic dances then her heart naturally turned towards Hip-hop.
Trained at the Juste Debout School and specializing in Popping and House Dance, she is active in the world of Battles but also in that of transmission, pedagogy and choreography.
NINO
Nino, a dancer who began breakdancing at the age of 10, initially honed his skills through battles. Later, after settling in Bordeaux, he joined the Rêvolution company, where he explored new styles and blended them with his breakdancing practice.
This experience led him to participate in several productions, in theatre, outdoors and for young audiences. Spotted by the DYPTIK company, he joined the show D-Construction, on international tour.
Today he continues his journey within the Ayaghma company, notably with Notre Dernière Nuit, a project in which he fully flourishes.
