Smaïl Kanouté, Mellina Boubetra
Never Twenty One / Rēhgma
Revolt and the beauty of touch: urban dances ranging from ceremony to convergence around a piano.
In the Bronx in New York and the favelas of Rio, plenty of young men with black skin have had their lives cut short by police, or war, or gangs, before reaching the age of twenty-one. Smaïl Kanouté collected reports forming a film and made Never Twenty-One, an urban requiem openly acknowledging its shamanic heritage. Three masters of ceremonies, feline and warrior-like, their torsos inscribed with messages, inven¬t a subtle lamentation of bodies seeking reconciliation.
Mellina Boubetra has devoted her second original work to the encounter between urban dance and the concert piano. What do they have in common? Not only are the B-Boys and Girls at ease in any type of artistic or musical universe, but they are also pianists. In Rēhgma, the piano becomes the forum for meeting and fusion.
