Rochdi Belgasmi born on January 22 1987, in Sousse. He is a Tunisian dancer and choreographer. He currently lives and works in Tunis. Rochdi Belgasmi is one of the leaders of post-revolutionary Tunisian contemporary dance, who was able to break the myth of popular dance, which is usually reserved for women and limited to folk dance.
Belgasmi is a dynamic and provocative artist who does not go unnoticed on stage. Rochdi Belgasmi uses dance as a weapon to fight prejudices, and a means to impose himself as a dancer, but above all, he is a free and committed man, in a society that claims to be “progressive” but which nevertheless remains overwhelmed by preconceived ideas.
