Former boxer Christian Nka dances and tells his story.

In Version(s), Marseille-based former boxer and poet Christian Nka takes the stage. In a captivating solo, he reflects on his fascinating career and his ambivalent relationship with violence. His commanding presence is supported by music from Chicago-based musician Ben LaMar Gay.

In this production, acclaimed choreographer Dorothée Munyaneza fuses dance, text, and music to create a hybrid space that is part portrait, part ode. For the first time, she confronts the theme of masculinity: a multifaceted identity in constant motion. Version(s) balances at the intersection of intimate confession and a powerful performative gesture. An encounter that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
