Highlights: Fêu
Appointed director of the Centre Chorégraphique National du Havre Normandie, Fouad Boussouf has created almost twenty shows since 2010 on the borderline between hip-hop, contemporary dance and circus. Today he presents his latest creation, Fêu, at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, taking us a wild ride full of choreography based on the theme of fire.
In Fouad Boussouf’s dance creation, Fêu, every movement is charged with power and intensity, much like fire itself. Together, the dancers create a sensation of constant falling and rebirth through maintaining to place their feet simultaneously on the ground. This physical and fiery dance exudes a sensation of fatigue but, nevertheless, ignites genuine bursts of freedom.
Story: Fêu
Fouad Boussouf, famous for the success of his choreographic creation Nass featuring seven men in a bewitching acrobatic dance, now reveals its female counterpart in his new dance show Fêu. By skilfully mixing styles, he creates a dialogue between the bodies of these dancers in an expressive and distinct choreography.
With a captivating collective energy, eleven female dancers take the stage of the Théâtre du Rond-Point to interpret a spellbinding and unrestrained dance around the all-consuming essence of fire. The true power and beauty of human gestures.

Théâtre du Rond-Point
If you ever want to feel the pulse of the French theatre scene, the Théâtre du Rond-Point is the place to be! But which roundabout or "rond-point" is it exactly? It's one of the most famous roundabouts in Paris, located near the Champs-Elysées, smaller than the famous Etoile roundabout under the Arc de Triomphe. Since 1981, it has attracted a host of directors from all over the world and a host of people with a passion for theatre. A major venue for contemporary creation since 1991, the Rond-Point does not programme "what people like, but what they don't yet know they’ll like", according to Jean-Michel Ribes, the theatre's current director. A real creative programme focused on living authors creating stories in real-time!
