RITAM

In a one-of-a-kind face-off, two high-flying dancers (Cie Käfig) take on Stracho Temelkovski’s playing, seeking each other out and gradually finding common ground; sound and bodies intertwine to deliver an airborne, vibrant, and poetic ballet. “I love music—the kind that speaks to the soul, the kind that speaks to the body. Melody and rhythm transcend what words cannot express. Ritam is an echo of the soul—phonetically, Rit’âme (âme means soul in French) sounds like the Macedonian word for rhythm—a dialogue between masculine and feminine, dream and reality, our lives, our states of mind.” Stracho Temelkovski

Ritam was born from the meeting of Stracho Temelkovski and Kader Belmoktar, dancer and leading assistant choreographer of Compagnie Käfig. Committed to interweaving art forms and aesthetics, they set out with Ritam to create a shared language, a bridge between their two worlds.
