Burkina Faso
Serge Aimé Coulibaly & Faso Danse Théâtre
Nuit blanche à Ouagadougou
«Each artistic act is a political act.» For the dancer and choreographer Sergé Aimé Coulibaly this is no empty phrase. His latest creation, which premièred in Ouagadougou two nights before President Compaoré was overthrown in October 2014, translates the resistance against the rigid and corrupt regime which had ruled his country for over 27 years into strong imagery. The tension, the unrest, the vibrant hope and the nerve-wrecking wait for change become almost tangible in this «Sleepless Night in Ouagadougou». This dance piece is moderated by rapper Smockey, one of the icons of civil resistance in Burkina Faso. (esc)
