Leïla Ka (Choreographer/Performer)

“Her success is mirrored by phenomenal sold-out tours: she is currently the most popular young choreographer with over a hundred dates a year” (Le Monde)

Leïla Ka has managed to impose her combative energy in just a few years. At once powerfully theatrical and fearsomely precise, her dance grabs you by the gut.

Following the international success of her first three multi-award-winning pieces, the solos and duets Pode ser / You’re the one we love / Bouffées Leïla Ka has created Maldonne, a group piece nominated for the International Dance Prize 2025 at Sadler’s Wells in London.

Entering through the doors of urban dance, the young woman did not go to school, charting a course off the beaten track of academism. After performing in Maguy Marin’s celebrated piece May B, Leïla Ka went on to create her own choreography, drawing on her urban and contemporary influences. Leïla Ka is associate artist at La Garance – Scène nationale de Cavaillon, associate artist at DSN, scène nationale de Dieppe, at la MC2, scène nationale de Grenoble.

The company is supported by the BNP Paribas Foundation since 2024.
