Oulouy

Residency guest 24/25

Born on the Ivory Coast and based in Spain, Oulouy combines his role as choreographer, dancer and artistic director with teaching masterclasses worldwide. His first work Black (2020) is a reflection on violence and the emancipation of black bodies in contemporary societies. Accompanied on stage by his international crew of Supa Rich Kids, Afrikan Party (2022) is a futuristic ode to Africa. His most recent work is Kong (2024). His stage works have been presented internationally in venues such as Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York, Bluma Appel in Toronto, Fabrik Potsdam in Germany, Dansens Hus Oslo, Mercat de les Flors, Teatro Principal de Palma, Journées Théâtrales de Carthage, Suzanne Dellal Centre, Dampfzentrale, among others. Black was selected for the Danza a Escena 2024 catalogue to tour within Spain – which makes Oulouy  one of the first choreographers to present their work within this network. Afrikan Party received the Best Choreography award  of the Catalan Performing Arts Critics Awards (2023), and this work has also been included in the choreographic archive of the New York Public Library. Oulouy is also the founder and curator of the festival Oyofe dedicated to street dances and has been selected as an Aerowaves25 artist with his piece ‘Black’.
