“A brilliant duo where humor surprises us in the midst of movement."
—L’Indépendant

This fusion of hip-hop and contemporary dance was created by the duo Wang Ramirez, a couple onstage and off. Honji brings suppleness and Asian musicality to her movement, and Sébastien brings his Mediterranean vivacity. Together, they tackle Monchichi as they construct their life together—in perfect balance between masculine and feminine. Dance is their language, but so are words. Monchichi is a piece full of humor and self-deprecation, a love story in different languages.


Monchichi was one of the 2017 New York Bessie Award nominees for "Outstanding Production" following its performance at BAM Fisher in New York within the framework of Brooklyn-Paris Exchange, a BAM & Théâtre de la Ville collaboration.
