L'Angela, après l'échec d'une révolution
Creation 1998
Choreographed by Fred Bendongué
In the 1990s, Fred Bendongué explored the world of the black diaspora, this footprint of a painful past, and first stopped at the point where Africa shone forth. This was to lead to an encounter with the literature of this black world. He studied different authors such as Frantz Fanon, Patrick Chamoiseau, Aimé Césaire… And, from these readings he went on to create three pieces of work: “À la vue d’un seul œil” (a tale of the resistance of Maroons), “Les damnés de la terre” (inspired by the writer Frantz Fanon and the “Tragédie du Roi Christophe” by Aimé Césaire). In this last opus he pays tribute to Angela Davis and to the combat of the Black Panthers.
