“We felt that it was really good for people. On a media like Twitter where in general there can be a lot of haters, we have not received any form of negativity! », Enthuses Mehdi Kerkouche with 20 Minutes .
Last week, the choreographer and actor put online the video of a choreography on My Everything by Barry White in which he staged himself with four dancers from the company EMKA. A number produced by interposed screens, each remaining confined to home.
We were told we couldn't go out, not that we should stop dancing😏😝😅🤷🏻♂️

As soon as it went online on social networks, success was there. The performance alone has been viewed more than 1.4 million times on Twitter alone. An extremely warm welcome which has given us even more desires.
This Monday, Mehdi Kerkouche shared a new choreography, this time on La Valse d'Amélie, composed by Yann Tiersen for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film, The fabulous destiny of Amélie Poulain .
"A light moment in this complicated period"
"We ended up on Facebook Messenger," he explains. We meet between 1:30 and 2 hours a day. For the first video, in four days the chorea was ready and we were able to shoot on the fifth day. For the second it is a little more elaborate and millimeter-sized so we worked for six days. "
No need to go out to escape✌🏻

In a few hours, this second choreography recorded more than 22,500 views on Twitter, and 3,600 views in just one hour on Instagram and enthusiastic comments flocked again.
The choreographer would love Yann Tiersen to see the video "and like him to the point of allowing sharing on networks". For example, it was disabled on YouTube due to copyright issues.
Is a third video being prepared? "I don't want to impose a pace of creation on us," answers Mehdi Kerkouche. I would like to make others but, above all, I want the idea to be good to continue to offer people a light moment in this complicated period. And allow them, in this context of pandemic, to send waltzes black ideas.
