In Amiens, abandoned, secret or unusual urban spaces are transformed into places of emancipation and artistic expression for young dancers, skateboarders, street performers and graffiti artists. Their inventiveness, their imagination and their irresistible desire to belong to today’s and tomorrow’s world explode onto the screen. An extension of the series, Le Chant du Kiwano constructs a futuristic story featuring pupils from the Terre d’Horizon horticulture school in Romans-sur-Isère and performing arts students from Valence University. A post-apocalyptic world in which they can experience and reinvent their adolescence.

Christophe Haleb
The choreographer and filmmaker Christophe Haleb has made the many facets of the world’s youth into the common thread of a long-term project. In his series of films titled Éternelle Jeunesse, poetry, documentary, dance and raw teen energy take us to Valence, Amiens, Uzès, Pont-Saint-Esprit and Romans-sur-Isère... and as far as the Sierra Chiquita in Cuba where he made his first feature-length film Las Maravillas with youngsters who subject their bodies to the challenges of life in the city. These films are supported and produced by La Zouze - Compagnie Christophe Haleb, which has been based in Marseille since 2003.
