Meetings with the artists after each performance
Four Malian women meet in a space outside time, outside the world. It’s an opportunity to get together, to talk about their lives but also their suffering in this parlour of colourful loincloths, a symbol of the female condition in Mali. The injunctions of society, daily violence, machismo, sexuality… People speak out. It’s an opportunity to laugh and make fun, but also to cry and speak out.
Above all, it’s about being together as women, finding collective solutions to find the path to emancipation and overcome the structural obstacles to socio-economic development. Their voices and bodies are united in words, songs and dances inspired by traditional Malian rituals. This play is based on real events and testimonies gathered by Jeanne Diama during meetings between artists and women from the neighbourhood where the Anw Jigi Art company is based, to collectively raise the question of power: who is given it, and why?
