Envahisseurs is a collective made up of dancer and director Deicy Sanches and dancer and designer Teddy Sanches.
The collective expresses its view of society and its environment through hip hop, a total and multidisciplinary art movement. In this sense, their practice, which places dance at the centre, is in dialogue with all artistic fields.
This is how Teddy and Deicy express their vision through a global artistic approach: a battle made possible by garment-scale equipment at the Centre Pompidou in 2019, a film on film exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo as part of the Audi Talents prize, research on clothing at the Villa Kujoyama, performances for Nuit Blanche Kyoto, the Chichas de la pensée, at the Collection Lambert and recently a carte blanche at Bozar Brussels with talks, screenings and a performance.

Deicy Sanches, Franco-Cap Verdean, is a film director and dancer, with a Master's degree in Arts, Literature and Languages, majoring in Cinema and Audiovisual at the University of Paris Nanterre.
Her heritage and sensitivity have led her to explore issues of identity, colonisation and bodily memory through movement, using a variety of media : film, photography and dance.
In 2020, in collaboration with designer Teddy Sanches, she wrote and directed the film Envahisseurs, shot on film, about hip-hop dance and the notion of the circle, which she exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo as part of the Audi talents programme.
In 2022, she was awarded the Trame residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. In 2023, she directed a short dance film, In Between, at Villa Kujoyama, Japan and in 2024, she was invited, in collaboration with designer Teddy Sanches, to give a Carte Blanche at the Bozar museum in Brussels, as part of their nocturnes and the opening of their Afropolitan Festival.
Over the last six years, she has worked as a film director and camera operator with a number of museums, film associations and artists with whom she has collaborated on film and video projects, including MADD Bordeaux and the Cape Verde concentration camp museum.
