A devotee of Funkstyle and Popping, Linda Hayford represents a form of hip-hop that addresses intimate subjects by employing incredibly complex body movements. Her dance examines the physical metamorphoses caused by human emotions. Along with the singer, composer and musician Nosfell, with whom she collaborated for Recovering(2022), she performs a duo piece in which they put themselves in each other’s shoes.

Linda Hanford’s evocative, chimerical dance meets up with Nosfell’s whimsical surrealist music to create a hypnotizing duo.

Recognized as an ambassadress of Popping, Linda Hayford has developed an emotional, sensorial approach to the technique through her creations. Shifting Pop, the constantly evolving choreographic language born of these explorations and experiments, has led the choreographer and dancer to a new bodily awareness and revealed her unique qualities.

An elusive artist, Nosfell has developed an unclassifiable musical world through his albums and live performances, seesawing between pop, rock, folk and electro and combining French, English and “klokobetz” – a fictional language he created in order to best express his daydreams. Cultivating a highly organic relationship with his music, he imbues it with yet more relief by the strange intensity of his stage presence.

Continuing the collaboration that began with Recovering, the Rennes choreographer’s third creation, the two artists have developed a brand new piece specially for the Musée de l’Orangerie, a performance in which body and sound resonate with and drive each another.
