Millepertuis is both a journey and a moment of birth. Shifting between exuberance and surrender, this solo piece was created specifically by choreographer Sovann Rochon-Prom Tep to showcase the personality, charisma, and boundless energy of his friend and collaborator, the exceptional street dancer Walid Hammani.
Recklessness and euphoria gradually give way to calmness and gentleness, revealing the depths and contradictions within us along the way. A master of popping and electro dance, Walid—a.k.a. Waldo—passes through a series of emotional trance states. The flamboyant costumes, lighting effects, background music, and demonstrations of skill, often used to conceal vulnerability, gradually drop away as he reveals himself, allowing us to see and view him differently: an act of disclosure reminiscent of the millepertuis plant (St. John’s wort), whose dazzling yellow flowers contain a startling red oil.
