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<p>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<p>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<p>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<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19587,"parent":0,"template":"","production_location":[35],"production_type":[44],"class_list":["post-15657","production","type-production","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","production_location-venue","production_type-dance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Back to Kidal - Frans Brood Productions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fransbrood.com\/en\/productions\/back-to-kidal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Back to Kidal - Frans Brood Productions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Serge Aim\u00e9 Coulibaly \/ Faso Danse Th\u00e9\u00e2tre &#8220;We have come a long, long way in the struggle for justice, but we have a long way to go.&#8221; Martin Luther King African in origin and universal in scope, the blues carries the voice of those who have weathered storms.
