Etha Dam, an urban dance group from France, has managed to overturn the stereotypes of hip hop with their original and dynamic style, combining street dance with theatre dance techniques, influenced by capoeira and African dance.
The company Etha Dam was created by Ibrahim Sissoko in 1998 from the common wish of talented and experienced dancers who share an open-minded spirit as well as same appreciation of dance art: a same état d’âme (frame of mind in French).
The identity of the company is based on its creative spirit and a dance that impresses by its precision, sensibility and energy.
The company has performed on international stages in countries such as France, Belgium, Switzerland, England, Finland, Sweden, Columbia, Equator, Haiti, Venezuela…
The show Aduna deals with the discovery of an unknown land by 7 adventurers. By a metaphoric evocation of the themes of revelation and sacred, the company offers to the audience a journey to the frontiers between reality and imagination, a dance composed of signs, creating a symphony of words of stones and sand. The word ‘aduna’ in Wolof African language is a concept gathering the notions of world and destiny.
