With finesse and elegance, street styles such as krumping, tutting, and waving are used to depict humanity’s eradication of this enchanting animal. Using minimal means and profound expressions, the dancer Nico Yao Dapre a.k.a. Oulouy conveys the story of Earth’s fragility and the eternal pursuit of freedom.

Oulouy comes from Ivory Coast and settled in Paris as a teenager. His passion for dance developed from a young age, initially focusing on various African dance styles, but in 2008 he became involved in urban dance. Since then, he’s participated in numerous international dance battles and worked as a model and dancer for brands such as Coca Cola and L’Oreal. Currently, he teaches urban dance, organises events, and co-directs @ilovethisdance – the first French digital channel dedicated to urban culture and hip-hop.
