Les damnés de la terre
A solo filled with humour followed by a creation that describes the nostalgia of mythical Africanity and just how difficult it is to think about it today. A smart blend of hip-hop and tap dancing, the energy of capoeira and cabaret.
Choreographed by Fred Bendongué Musical direction Areski Hamitouche
A solo filled with humour followed by a creation that describes the nostalgia of mythical Africanity and just how difficult it is to think about it today. A smart blend of hip-hop and tap dancing, the energy of capoeira and cabaret. Following on from a long stay in Salvador de Bahia, this work by Fred Bendongué and the musician Areski Hamitouche offers us a vision of the writer Frantz Fanon’s line of thought, an animated reaction to the hopes and quandaries of the third world. “The dance circle is permissive. It protects and, at the same time, authorizes”.
