"Beauséjour is an utopia where the past is reborn through memory and the present is lived through bodies that are uneven, rounded, and stooped. It is a true choreographic challenge for the dancers, who must master a new physical language and embody unfamiliar characters — far removed from their usual stage roles. From these touching figures, who fully embrace their individuality, a new understanding of beauty emerges — universal, beyond age and generations."
"Nostalgia and joie de vivre, youth and old age, restraint and abundance of dancers, tango and hip-hop — Mourad Merzouki achieves a perfect balance and fusion of genres in his new work Beauséjour."
"Beauséjour plays with light, scenography, remarkable dancers transformed through makeup and movement, poetic texts, and a compelling soundtrack… Everything comes together and resonates in a truly magical way."
"At once virtuosic, incredibly alive, bursting with contagious energy, funny — and absolutely unmissable!"
— Choreographer Mourad Merzouki
