Cie du Baobab / Hic et nunc (here and now)

Creation 2010

She, feeling the urge of the evolution, to understand what was first, from the egg or the hen, humorously and lightly. He, the alter ego, angel and witness, mirror and mediator of the external look, from deconstruction to reconstruction on the difficult path of clear-sightedness. And that other one she could/ should/would have been.

What we are can be divided into as many boxes through which we desperately try to define ourselves to be granted the recognition of the others, to be “ identified”. I would like to open other boxes, those of flavours, sounds, smells, bits of time and space. Not so much souvenirs as impressions. Selective memory, affective memory.

I would like to open them and learn to keep the important ones, the ones that, ordered with both flair and judgement, build the identity, which in itself justifies our presence, here and now.

In 2005 she got a diploma in traditional and contemporary African dancing from the Centre George Momboye in Paris.

She is a contemporary interpreter for the Cie Brigitte DUMEZ et Cie Agmakor (Paris/Geneva) and at the intersection of her influences with the Cie Nyanga Zam (Brussels), the Cie Yata/Yala (Switzerland/Burkina Faso) and accepted in traditional African dancing with the Guinean ballet of France “Won Ta Nara” (Paris).

She crossbreeds her dancing with hip-hop with the Cie Losanges and Cie MOOD (Paris) and co-realise “Té ki moa?” with the Cie Kelebellavi. She is also a choreographer for operas and danced plays for children and adults, in France and abroad (Cie Opéramint – Birmingham; Opéra Studio – Geneva; Classes PAC – 74) and creates her own company in 2004: La Compagnie du Baobab (74). After exploring collectively these different styles, “Hic et nunc (here and now)” is a 1st work witness of her way through multi-cultural contemporary stage experiments and performances.
