Supay
Huaskar Alcòn
Compagnie Mamani
What is the starting point of this project?
A quest for identity linked to my double French-Bolivian heritage. The figure of Supay serves as a mirror of this duality, through a mask with a double meaning: Andean and Christian.
What is its specific feature?
SUPAY blends Andean folk dance with hip-hop. The mask and the bodies become a choreographic language, revealing tensions, contradictions and taboos linked to the sacred, identity and society.
Why participate in the Danse élargie competition?
Danse élargie provides a space for hybrid forms and unique styles of expression. I find an ideal platform for sharing a grounded and universal choreographic language.
Huaskar Alcòn is a Franco-Bolivian dancer and choreographer. World Street Dance Choreography Championship with The Rookies in 2016, he develops a style that draws on a variety of influences, focusing on the concepts of identity, memory and transformation.
