“With Back to Kidal, I want to bring the reality of terrorism in the Sahel closer to us. Not as an \u2018African problem\u2019, something distant that concerns others. But as a reality that affects us all. To bring our fear onto the stage. Our humanity. Our contradictions. Our questions. And let the performance find its own way between us. Back to Kidal is a piece about the Sahel, but above all about what we do with what happens to us. I believe it leaves no one indifferent.”<\/em>
– Serge Aim\u00e9 Coulibaly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

African in origin and universal in scope, the blues carries the voice of those who have weathered storms. During their involuntary crossing to America, enslaved people brought their musical traditions with them. There, these traditions evolved into the blues, a genre of resilience and dignity. In Back to Kidal, choreographer Serge Aim\u00e9 Coulibaly, born in Burkina Faso and now based in Brussels, draws upon this musical heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story unfolds in a powerful performance by Faso Danse Th\u00e9\u00e2tre, accompanied by spoken word artist Odile Sankara, singer Niaka Sacko, and live music by Ivan Talbot and Patrick Kabr\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kidal is a resource-rich region with small gold mines and reserves of iron and copper, but above all, it is marked by postcolonial tensions. In this odyssey, it serves as a symbolic place within the Mali Empire, which boasts an ancient musical tradition. The cradle of Afro-blues. Distinctive blues guitar resonates live as a thread running through the performance, connecting the various scenes with a musical heritage deeply rooted in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect a gripping tale of the quest for self-determination. A contemporary epic in which pride and resilience echo through a long history of struggle and resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
