« Un peu pour mon cœur » de Dalila Belaza

Let yourself be carried away. Such is the universe of Dalila Belaza, profoundly subtle and sensitive. Her new creation, Un peu pour mon cœur…, draws you into a multitude of tiny cultural and intimate layers to become a choral and vibratory work where bodies and voices unite in a universal rite.

Dalila Belaza knows how to weave landscapes made of voices and bodies. For Un peu pour mon cœur…, songs occupy a central place, carried by a sensitive memory linked to the choreographer's family's country of origin, Algeria.

With this creation, she deepens a research where dance, voice, and music become one. To achieve this, she brings together several performers around a principle of chorality: to create a common frequency capable of connecting beings beyond individualities.

In Dalila Belaza's work, we inhabit subtle ground. Nothing is there to illustrate anything. It must be understood that it is more about sensations than grand effects. The songs are the source and the extension of the dance; they do not illustrate or narrate it.

Breath, vibration, and resonance are at the heart of her finely crafted writing. Already in Orage, presented at the prestigious Biennale de la danse de Lyon, or in Figures, her dance unfolded as a dense and telluric matter, traversed by impulses close to ritual.

Without ever citing a specific tradition, she allowed deep, almost archaic resonances to surface. In Un peu pour mon cœur…, this intensity opens up more to the collective. Chorality, present in many cultures, becomes an essential principle.

It touches upon the beauty of a perfect chord in its fragility. The body becomes another material in her work, and it forms with music and songs a common space, a place of sharing where everyone carries, a little, within themselves, the heart of others.
