In African culture, elders are responsible for guiding younger ones on their path in life. This practice is a heritage passed down from ancestors to new generations. A dialogue of forms between movements from hip-hop dance and traditional dances, Reflets is a moment of the intersection of the past and an envisaged future.

Abdoulaye Diallo and Gacirah Diagne live in Dakar, and Njara Rasolomanana divides his time between Helsinki and Antananarivo; Pape Salif Diémé and Lukah Rehava, respectively, reside in Ziguinchor, Sénégal, and Antananarivo, Madagascar.
