Faraja is a Congolese dancer and artist based in Goma, DR Congo. A multiple-time champion in various dance competitions in Goma, across the East African region, and internationally, he practices several hip-hop styles fused with Afro-urban, contemporary, and traditional dances, which shape his unique identity and technique.
Today, Faraja has established himself as one of the leading Congolese representatives of urban dance abroad. He has presented solo and group performances, taken part in competitions, and also judged and taught dance in numerous African countries and internationally, including France, Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Austria, French Guiana, the United States, Tunisia, Egypt, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and several cities across DR Congo.
Drawing on his experience, Faraja is actively committed to supporting Congolese youth through his organization Vijana Upl, training young people through dance and hip-hop culture, developing various social initiatives for underprivileged children, and working to strengthen the local scene through projects and events such as the Goma Dance Festival and others.
Faraja collaborates with the No Way Back Company on several projects, notably on his solo performance LA CAGE, presented internationally between Congo, French Guiana, France, and the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. The piece won three choreographic awards in Belgium in 2021 (Charleroi Danse Award, Grand Studio & Centre Culturel Jacques Franck). In 2022, the performance received the Belgian Minister of Youth Award.
With a sharp eye for movement, he combines his expertise in dance with strong video skills. For several years, Faraja has created video edits for the No Way Back Company and the Detours Festival, while also serving as head of digital communication. His artistic approach enriches every project, bringing a powerful and striking visual dimension.

Jules Seizart began breakdancing at a very young age, following his older cousin into the halls where the Bruxel’Air crew (at the origin of the No Way Back Company) trained. At the same time, he experimented with graffiti tagging, which pushed him to develop precision and refine the quality of his execution. From these two passions, he discovered shared qualities: repetition, training, letting go, impulses, and the relentless pursuit of an art form toward perfect execution.

Although a solo performance, Layers is conceived as a duo—a dialogue between the man and his working tool: the Posca marker, with which he discovers, plays, and explores the paths of free writing. At times, the marker takes the lead in their dance, drawing him into unexpected corners of his being, as ideas take control of the creator.

This project, at the crossroads of dance and performance, visual art and choreography, speaks to virtuosity, control, and also to the necessary surrender to inspiration and creativity.

Micael Anigbe, also known as Bboy Micael, is a Belgian-Ivorian dancer and choreographer for whom dance is a universal language and a powerful means of expression. Trained in the streets, he learned discipline, creativity, and solidarity, turning movement into a way of telling life stories.
His career took a decisive turn when he joined the No Way Back Company, where he performed in FrontX, a bold creation blending breakdance and theatre. This experience led him to deepen his stage work and explore social themes such as brotherhood and youth.
He then continued his artistic research in Denmark with choreographer Lene Boel in Joyous, before returning to Brussels to found Street OG, a collective merging dance, freestyle football, and music, and producing the performance Les Échos de la rue.
Co-founder of the non-profit organization Cirque et Art en Liberté and instructor at the Hip Hop School Brussels, Bboy Micael is committed to supporting young talent and passing on the values of hip-hop culture. Today, he continues to create and share a dance that connects people, transforming emotions into movement and making the heartbeat of the street resonate on every stage.

Born in Madagascar in 1965 and having spent his early years in Paris, Phax has been dancing in the streets since the age of 13. He is currently Swedish. He is one of the legendary artists of the first generation of hip-hop in France in the 1980s.
He developed a highly personal dance style slowmotion through which he offers an offbeat and highly humorous perspective on the contemporary world.
