Tolon ke!

A danced concert by Serge Aimé Coulibaly & Faso Danse Théâtre

Life is too short and too precious to spend it distracting ourselves and accumulating perishable treasure. Instead, let us seek to understand its true meaning and enrich our souls.
Maxime attributed to Socrates

With his new performance, Serge Aimé Coulibaly invites us to a jubilant ‘danced concert’ – a performance in which dance, music, and the rhythm of the human heartbeat pulsate in unison, creating an experience of jubilant togetherness. The title is a festive imperative: Tolon kè! – Let’s rejoice! Let’s celebrate! Let’s create a moment where our souls meet! An ensemble of four dancers accompanied by a singer-guitarist performs a precise yet powerful and exuberant choreography that leaves the audience no choice but to joyously accept the invitation extended in the title of the piece.

Tolon ke! is a versatile piece that can be presented not only in traditional venues, but also in places such as public squares, open-air festival terrains, and small cultural centres and a variety of other alternative spaces. The leading idea behind this new form is to open up to the possibility of direct interaction and co-creation with the audience.

The technical requirements of the spectacle are rudimentary, which makes it adaptable for different spaces, including open-air locations. Depending on the context, it can be played in a30 minutes-, 45 minutes- or 60 minutes version.
