As part of the creation of his next show, Le sacre de lila, Ismaël Mouaraki invites the dancers in his company, Destins Croisés, to discover his Moroccan culture, the roots of his inspiration for this new piece. We follow the creative process of dancers from Montreal, joined by dancers from Morocco. More than an artistic residency, Lila presents the meeting between men who question their sensitivity, the relationship with their male bodies, and the identity questions of a choreographer at the crossroads of several worlds.
