Serge Aimé Coulibaly

dance music

Bobo-Dioulasso / Bruxelles l duration : 85' + intermission
 

With his new creation, Serge Aimé Coulibaly, who has worked with Alain Platel and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, remembers the political influence of the Nigerian singer and sax player Fela Kuti. His afrobeat accompanies an energetic dance that urges us to open up our minds.

Focus on Africa

A leader for West African counter-culture, Fela Kuti made his music into a political weapon. His afrobeat partly accompanies this piece on the immense desire for freedom among young people in Burkina Faso today. On stage, six dancers are dragged from their torpor by a seventh who is unable to stop their frenzied movements, a metaphor for their hunger for life. He ends up joining them in their frantic dance, soon driven by rock beats from the DJ and percussionist Yvan Talbot. Enchanted by the hypnotic charm of the show, the Place d’Armes at Fort Saint-Jean starts to feel like the “Shrine”, the legendary venue halfway between a temple and a nightclub, where Fela sang of hope and revolt after praying with his audience.
