On December 9, the festival Dialogues de Corps <\/em>will open its doors for a new edition : Nos Solitudes Partag\u00e9es<\/em> (Our Shared Lonliness), at the Choreographic Center La Termiti\u00e8re<\/em> in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In these times of uncertainty and restrictions, the festival is adapting and this edition will have a special resonance with the presentation of mainly solos. An ode to all isolated bodies and a message of resilience and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Every year for the past 13 years, The CDC La Termiti\u00e8re<\/a>, a temple of dance in West Africa, celebrates dance in all its forms: performances, panel discussions, workshops, both inside and outside its walls. A meeting not to be missed in Sahel for dance enthusiasts and professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 will have been a long and trying ordeal for bodies and souls and 2021 is already around the corner. We are reassured that this type of event can still take place and we are therefore looking forward to closing the year dancing! Dialogues de Corps festival<\/a> will definitely be happening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Shared Lonelinesses: a special program <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is a beautiful program to which the artistic director Salia Sanou<\/a> invites us with all his team: dancers often alone on stage, from Burkina Faso, Benin, Egypt, Ghana, Mali, Morocco, Senegal, Togo, Tunisia, the United States and France… Nos Solitudes Partag\u00e9es<\/em>. An edition that reflects the times we live in, a reflection on our isolated, confined, distant bodies. And a message of resilience, a tour de force: reminding us of the importance of keeping going, of expressing ourselves, of sharing, of gathering ; with a stage that will bring together artists from several African countries as well as from Europe and America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hors Les Murs : refugees and displaced persons on stage <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

However, a group of crucial importance contrasts this program: the presentation of the program Hors Les Murs<\/em>.
For several years now, choreographer Salia Sanou has been leading workshops for Malian refugees and internally displaced persons in Burkina Faso.
Before the festival, these workshops are being held at La Termiti\u00e8re<\/a>, with teachers Salia Sanou (Burkina Faso), Sena Atsugah (Ghana), Maman Sani (Niger) and Ta\u00efgu\u00e9 Ahmed (Chad). The restitution will be part of the festival, giving the participants the opportunity to go on stage and in public spaces, to express themselves, to exist in the eyes of the public and to break with their daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
