Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the Belgian-Moroccan dancer, choreographer and artistic director of Geneva's Grand Theatre, speaks to Dheepthika Laurent about his works "Boléro" and "Ihsane". The latter explores his complicated relationship with his late father and is a reference to a homophobic killing in 2012. Through his work, Cherkaoui has explored double culture, queer identity and removing gender boundaries. He also talks about choreographing for others: Beyoncé and Jay-Z's "Apeshit" video clip that was filmed in the Louvre museum and the "Like a Prayer" dance for Madonna's Celebration Tour last year.
