Manal CHERKI’S Art
Dancer-choreographer

The artist has invented her own technique and choreographic language, based on the movements of the body and the mind. The latter are rhythmic, drawn and coordinated, according to a fluid and precise techniques.

She also works to fight against racism, violence and discrimination, recurring themes in her choreographic interpretations.
She practices without distinction Oriental Dance and Contemporary Dance, without forgetting spiritual and ecstatic dances. She is inspired by the famous dancers Martha GRAHAM and Josephine BAKER.
Singer-performer
Manal CHERKI is a singer who loves the stage. With her voice without artifice, she likes to take us to another world. Her objective is to transmit real emotions to her public, especially Love, Happiness, Hope and Joy. She sings for noble and humanistic causes and defends, in particular, the freedom of women.
For the militant artist, music is a unique experience that connects her deeply to her audience, in a symbiosis that no words can precisely describe. She evokes “a kind of osmosis in a space-time”, or “a parallel dimension that touches, by its wings, the perfection of a collective emotion”.
She goes from Soul to Jazz, passing by Blues, New Age and World Music. Her references are Lisa Gerard, Hans Zimmer, Whitney Houston or Shirley Bassey.
