BILTI

 

BILTI is a 35-minute solo that unfolds as both a retrospective and a new beginning. It revisits my own journey as a dancer from my childhood as a hearing-impaired boy who discovered vibration before sound, to my evolution from electro battles to contemporary stages. The piece is not only about tracing this intimate history, but about questioning how dance itself becomes a survival tool, a language, and a way of reclaiming presence in the world.

 

At its core, BILTI resists conformism. It challenges the ways in which we are perceived and often confined by our family roles, social groups, or collective expectations. Through shifting identities, fragmented scores, and a constant play between sound and silence, the solo carves a space where difference becomes a source of strength, and where authenticity refuses to be disguised.

 

The body becomes a prism: vulnerable yet powerful, fragmented yet whole. Movements echo vibrations more than music, and sudden ruptures in gesture, rhythm, and atmosphere keep the performance alive and unpredictable. This tension between control and letting go is central, inviting the audience to witness not a polished “character” but a living body negotiating its place, moment after moment.

 

Ultimately, BILTI is less about presenting a story than about opening a landscape: one where dance can embody resilience, non-conformity, and the beauty of being unapologetically oneself, beyond the roles imposed by family or society, and beyond what we already know of ourselves.
