Three successive duos for a manifesto of alterity by Salia Sanou. With Nancy Huston, Germaine Acogny, and Babx.
Who are you, Salia Sanou? Who are you, the dancer, the uprooted? Who are you?” With Multiple-s, Salia Sanou looked for his inner voice and faced the questions he’d tried to avoid for too long. The idea therefore is to search for, but also to find, answers, and above all to share. Never alone, he says, but in a dialogue with figures dear to him. In three successive duos, with writer Nancy Huston, dancer and teacher Germaine Acogny, and musician David Babian, aka Babx, the Burkinabé artist has created more than just one-on-ones. An alliance, an alloy between dances and words, between the engagement of the body and its inner rhythms. With its simple yet generous scenography, Multiple-s is a revolving stage that mirrors the cycle of life and avoids didacticism. These dialogues shine through with alterity and show us how to hear the power of personal quests and shared sincerity.
