Serge Aimé Coulibaly

Kalakuta Republik

  • Tanz im August

What does it mean to make political art today? Inspired by the Nigerian musician, political activist and inventor of afrobeat Fela Kuti, Serge Aimé Coulibaly and his team explore the connection between art and revolt. What happens when an artist becomes the leader of a movement? How are resistance movements triggered? And what comes after the revolution? The Burkina Faso choreographer’s new piece is a hypnotic, powerful evening, as well as a poetic performance that leads directly from the African revolution into our globalised present.

With kind support of Institut français and the Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication/DGCA.
