style
Ouramdane's work very often reflects questions about his own identity or that of his parents. Since the beginning of his career, he has combined his dancing skills and his training in the stylistic devices of contemporary dance with video and light artists, with musicians and sculptors. His excursions to Brazil , Vietnam and China are accompanied by documentaries about the history of the origins and the establishment of identity in these countries.
