Konami – der Fußballtanz (La Fleur)

In the organizer's words:

The anthem for the 2010 World Cup is immediately in everyone's ears: "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" by Shakira. Thanks to brief appearances by soccer stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the accompanying video is one of the most clicked on YouTube - and just one example of how closely pop music and soccer are linked.

On the African continent in particular, it is common for pop stars to mention the names of professional footballers in their songs - sometimes even writing entire songs about them. In this way, the up-and-coming talents help each other gain more visibility. For their new work Konami - der Fußballtanz, the dancers and singers of the transnational performance group La Fleur have developed dances and songs with director Monika Gintersdorfer that give an insight into the current realities of life for young soccer and showbiz professionals between the continents.

They focus on the fascinating connections between pop culture and soccer, which awaken dreams of success and fame. Dreams that top African sport is often unable to live up to and that lead many players to take the risk of heading to Europe.
