Back/Bridge addresses the marks colonial histories left on bodies and tales from the postcolonial “margins” – especially those of the North African diaspora with a specific focus on Algeria.

This icono-choreo-graphic piece aims to map the continuity of systemic violences, from yesterday’s colonial exactions to contemporary discriminations. Using two types of language: movement and imagery.

The meeting of choreograpy and visual practices echos the multiplicity of trajectories, of legacies, journeys and ways of belonging, and explores how collective histories write themselves inside bodies.
