Un peu pour mon cœur… (2026) opens a new chapter in Dalila Belaza’s artistic journey, placing chorality at the center of the work. Beyond the voice, the piece explores how the body, sound, breath, and collective presence can shape a shared choral narrative. Drawing on Belaza’s long-standing exploration of ritual, memory, and vibration, the work seeks a common frequency where movement and sound merge into a single living organism. The performers generate a space of listening, resonance, and interdependence, where dance becomes both an inner and collective experience. Through this shared vibration, the piece opens new dimensions of perception and invites the audience into a communal, sensorial journey.

She is now developing a new piece, Un peu pour mon cœur…
