Detours Festival Opens its 14th Edition This Month

 Detours Cyphers are the very essence of the Detours Festival! These urban dance events adapt the codes of  the battle to various dance styles and offer a quality program of shows while being a meeting places open to all. They will take place every Wednesday evening at Mont des Arts in July/August and at Bourse in September from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

In urban dance, the cyphers are the circles formed by the dancers where everyone shares their flow, their inspirations, their talent, hence the name of the "Detours Cyphers" evenings. These moments bring together artists who love hip hop (professionals, amateurs, interested and adventurous). Each week, a very specific style of dance is honoured: from house to krump via pole dance. To open these events, the festival propose a creation in urban, contemporary or circus art!

The winners of the qualifying battles during the Detours Cyphers will meet on the stage of the National Theater on September 23 for the Grand Finale, preceded by the Urban Dance Caravan, a traveling show leading to the gates of the NT.

 “Take the street to the theater and the theater to the street” To achieve its goal and create bridges between the street and the theaters, Detours Festival does not only rely on the Cyphers!
