MEDIATHEK

In dieser Aufführung führt Serge Aimé Coulibaly seine Arbeit über das Zeitgeschehen und die Geschichte seines Landes weiter. Es geht hier um vier Ikonen des aktuellenAfrikas: Kwame Nkrumah, den Premierminister Ghanas, Patrice Lumumba, Kongo, Nelson Mandela, Südafrika, und Thomas Sankara, Burkina Faso. [Quelle:http://www.info-culture.com/public/manifestation/48991/de] After A Benguer (2006 Biennale), Serge Aimé Coulibaly is still striving to "revitalise Africa’s choreographic heritage while developing a contemporary gestural language"; and giving hope to the many young Africans who dream only of Europe. Babemba summons four icons (including Mandela) who dared to shape Africa’s future. With four tremendous Burkinabé dancers, a Griot singer and two stringinstrument virtuosi, Babemba shows that dance can say everything; and that tomorrow is already written.
