From November 16th-30th 2018, the Cité internationale des arts will host the festival’s second key event at its Montmartre site in the 18th arrondissement, transformed for the occasion into an exhibition space spread over 3 floors.
On Fridays and Saturdays, the programme continues with festive evenings featuring performances, debates and concerts in the large living room on the ground floor, the scenography of which has been entrusted to the Syrian artist Khaled Alwaera. The scenography, conceived using recycled materials, is an installation in its own right, a metaphor for a transition between two worlds, serving both as a space of conviviality and an ephemeral stage.
On the agenda for this evening:
Jamais d'eux sans proie is a play about exile, separation and the consequences it causes for those who remain. Should we leave or stay? Should we go to safety and let our own people suffer the consequences?
By Soulay Thiâ'nguel aa-e (Guinea).
Abdou Kouyaté and Mancondé Mouri Diabaté both come from the same Senegalese grillots family. They perpetuate the tradition while revisiting it through jazz and reggae, forming the group Balakala for a music that creates atmosphere and makes people dance.
With Mancondé Mouri Diabaté (balafon - Senegal) and Abdou Kouyatéaa-e (kora, singing - Senegal).
