Compagnie Käfig

Compagnie Käfig, an innovative ensemble led by French-Algerian choreographer Mourad Merzouki, has become an international phenomenon, touring the world to sold out performances and rave reviews. Inspired by the stories of eleven young dancers from Brazil, Merzouki, created Correria and Agwa—two heart-stopping works that showcase a sensational combination of athletic samba, hip-hop and capoeira dance styles. The all-male company from Brazil exhibits theatrical intelligence and is gifted with irresistible personality and astonishing dancing. Bursting with fun, humor, and vitality, Compagnie Käfig is a celebration of life and dance. The winter performance will serve as a refreshing drink of movement for the soul. This will be the company’s Cleveland debut! “The eleven dancers commit themselves totally, energetically, joyfully. Absolutely irresistible!” – Le Figaro "Mourad Merzouki weaves street dance, hip-hop, acrobatics, and martial arts into elegant compositions." – The New Yorker "This is raw energy … Shirts on or off, this is what dance is all about.” – The Daily Telegraph Call 216-241-6000 for tickets!
