Founding his company in 1990, Maalem explores human themes through focusing on the body. In this work, Maalem has brought together 14 dancers from: Mali, Benin, Nigeria, Mozambique, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire France, and Guadeloupe.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fPlesuBFja0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fPlesuBFja0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Maalem says of Le Sacre du Printemps: \u201cOur dawn finds us enmeshed in the process of recognizing the forces knotting our bodies, we are dancing.
