Nacera Belaza born in Medea in Algeria, she lives in France since the age of 5. After studies of literature, she creates her own dance company. Self-taught, she entered dancing out of vital necessity to express, to utter and to unravel the complexity of the double cultural belonging. It is during the childhood and teenage that from the body constrained and confined by the choc of cultures that emerges spontaneously the language, drawing its row material first of all in itself and then in all that literature will be able to offer. Her works explore movement in a peaceful, profound and continous breath, confronting patience, rigor, stripping to “the deafening noise of our existences”, rendering gesture its existential utility. Her work recognized and appreciated by the ministry of culture, receiving officially the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 2008 Le Cri received the Price of the Syndicat de la Critique. In 2017, the SACD also recognized her work according her the Prix Chorégraphe. Each of her work is regularly presented in Europe, in Africa, in Asia, in North America. She created a cooperative in Algeria in order to work with her home country.
