"Poker. In front of his audience at Le Colisée he's from the North and Brahim Bouchelaghem doesn't want to play. His solo Zahrbat ("he who can't stay still"), dedicated to his poker-playing father, reveals him to be gentle and serious although he is better known for his very exteriorised virtuosity which verges on showing off. Here, each gesture is crammed with tenderness and delicacy. Among flying cards, Bouchelaghem gives each movement detail and depth. And through this intimate language, Hip Hop gains in interiority and sensitivity." Libération, 1 November 2004 (Quelle: http://www.ccn-roubaix.com)
