Nuit Blanche in Ouagadougou: a night of popular uprising
This visionary danse performance by choreographer Serge Aime Coulibaly from Burkina Faso and the Burkinabe rapper Smockey was joined by history.
Serge Aime Coulibaly imagined a night of insurrection two years before it actually happened and the piece was performed in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, at the time when the people ended up in the streets to demand the departure of President Blaise Compaoré in October 2014. What happens when the artistic dreams come true? When the revolution described in a room is realized before our eyes?
