Extract
« I didn’t know that life outside my countryside would be such a necessary hell. I didn’t know that the rhythm of the traffic – of those motorbikes, cars, trucks, buses, subways by the thousands, their roar, their multiple horns, of their speed, of these thousands of men and women slaves of the mobile phone, who, with broken sticks survey these paths, violating the laws without respect for the code of the road, nor for the human species – would depend the beats of my heart. It’s breathtaking isn’t it?
This show proposes to make us travel through space to discover this extraordinary world in which we live. Get on board and hold your heart because it will beat to the infernal rhythms of these crazy traffic, but let yourself be carried away by the danced, rhythmic and offbeat movements of the young dancers, whose passion for dance has no limits.
Performed on Friday, November 16, 2012, Théâtre de Verdure of the Institut Français du Benin, Cotonou.

The deposit of the video archives of “Dansons maintenant !”, belonging to Fondation Zinsou was made possible thanks to the Centre National de la Danse Research award in dance, granted in 2021 to Dr Anne Décoret-Ahiha for her research project “Consolidation of the African choreographic field: focus on Benin” and with the kind permission of the artists.
