“I loved getting swept up in Walid’s energy: throughout the show, you find yourself wondering just how far his passion will take him! A popping champion and winner of countless international battles, Walid is put to the test in this demanding performance, which bears the mark of his friend Sovann’s kindness.”
— Karla Etienne, Co-Artistic Director

Millepertuis is both a journey and a moment of blooming. Shifting between exuberance and surrender, this solo piece was created 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 costume, lighting effects, 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.
