Rualité aims to explore different notions, such as identity or body memory, in resonance with history.

Today, Rualité is a company with multiple influences that trains high-level amateur street dancers (Hip-hop, Krump, Vogging, Blues...) in the professionalization of their disciplines.

With the dancers that Bintou Dembélé brings together on performative projects, she questions the access and accessibility of art within the territory, the spatialized dimension of inequalities, the roots of racism as well as the possibilities of creating projects for more social justice, whose diverse audiences range from cultural performance enthusiasts in France and abroad to prisoners!

By supporting Rualité since 2020, the Francis Kurkdjian Endowment Fund allows for the development of research in dance through residencies in universities and the constitution of traces with the generation of visual recordings and podcasts.

In 2021, Bintou Dembélé specified her research, carried out for many years, on the Marronnage in order to bring to light this part of the occulted and underestimated History and to put it in relation with the current events.

"Conducting this research on marronage and its current cultural translations, responds to a need to connect this knowledge and historical richness to street and fringe cultures like street dance or black cultures."
