Back to Kidal

Serge Aimé Coulibaly / Faso Danse Théâtre

“We have come a long, long way in the struggle for justice, but we have a long way to go.” Martin Luther King

Back to Kidal weaves together blues and music, giving voice to a woman from the Sahel.

The tragedies of the Sahel, echoing those of the world, are interlaced in an explosive yet restrained choreography, both fragile and powerful, embodying our shared humanity.
