For its 25th anniversary, Dih'Art Madagascar celebrates Malagasy dance, fashion and culture through the grand spectacle "Journey Through Time" at CCI Ivato. The Dih'Art Madagascar team honors Malagasy dance and creativity on stage. Showcasing Malagasy dance and traditional skills through performance is one of the main objectives of the "Journey Through Time" spectacle, organized by Dih'Art Madagascar on August 2 at CCI Ivato. The event marks both the 25th anniversary of the dance school and the 30-year artistic career of its founder and artistic director, Rijamanitra Randrianarisoa. The spectacle aims to highlight Malagasy dances, including tsapiky and mangaliba, and demonstrate to audiences that these cultural expressions can also shine internationally. Malagasy fashion will also be featured through collaboration with artisans Betina and Hardy. "We want to further promote Malagasy dance and fashion by working with artisans and showing that our culture can be presented to the world through performance," explains Rijamanitra Randrianarisoa. A New Chapter Designed as a true journey through time, the spectacle will also trace the history of Dih'Art Madagascar and its commitment to artistic training and dance development in Madagascar. A major audiovisual production, featuring a giant screen evoking a return to the past, will accompany the different sequences. The program will include multiple disciplines: free dance, ballroom, ballet, rock, salsa, bachata, retro dance, urban dance, musical theater and zumba. The audience will also participate in the celebration, particularly through dance moments with the artists. Dancers from Analamanga and various regions who have collaborated with the school over its 25 years will also participate in this anniversary. Children and all Dih'Art Madagascar dancers will be present. An official opening is scheduled for 2 p.m., with a prayer moment and entertainment. This celebration also marks 30 years of artistic career for Rijamanitra Randrianarisoa. Self-taught, he began rock 'n' roll in Toamasina in a family environment where his parents also practiced this dance. He joined a club in 1996 and performed alongside artists such as Tovo J'Hay and Do Rajohnson, while participating in several rock competitions. He later turned to sport dance, then salsa and bachata, following the evolution of different disciplines. He also notes significant evolution in the sector. "At the beginning, I was self-taught and opportunities to take classes were limited. Today, disciplines have multiplied, schools and teachers are much more numerous, and many children start dancing very early. This practice contributes to the development of memory and concentration, while promoting the emergence of a new generation of dancers," he emphasizes. Through "Journey Through Time," Dih'Art Madagascar wishes to celebrate its journey while opening a new chapter for Malagasy dance and creation. "As long as my eyes allow me to see, I will continue to contribute to my country's development through dance," affirms Rijamanitra Randrianarisoa.
