A former star of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia faces a young hip-hop dancer who conveys her urban world through dance. On stage, two forms of struggle are thus brought together: resistance for the elderly woman and combat for the younger one. The two women are then joined by a wave of children, leading to a fusion between the three generations. Around twenty children from the region take the stage and showcase to the audience the dances they learned during 8 to 10 sessions. The young participants also had the opportunity to explore Butoh dance through mimicry workshops.
