She grew up here, in this magical place on the Ivory Coast. But the mysterious, fantastic village no longer exists. The land was considered cursed. As in <em>Filles-P\u00e9troles<\/em> and <em>Proph\u00e9tique<\/em> in 2022 and 2023, this solo takes us back to Nadia&#8217;s homeland, to her childhood, to the village of Yikakou.     <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>The journey is also a search for the grandmother who gave her her name: Gbahihonon, the &#8220;woman who says what she sees&#8221;. She was a woman of strong character and knowledge who protected the community from physical and mystical attacks and who could even predict the fate of newborn babies. But<em> \u00c9pique ! <\/em>also traces other powerful women who built or destroyed empires in the shadow of memories. D\u00f4-Kamissa, for example, who, after being wronged by her brother, turned into a buffalo to ravage her coun-try. As a female oracle, she expertly arranges the marriage of King Nar\u00e9 Maghann Konat\u00e9 to his daughter Sogolon Kand\u00e9, a woman scorned as ugly and hunchbacked and a doppelganger of D\u00f4-Kamissa. This mar-riage gave rise to Soundiata Keita, who later became the first ruler of the Kingdom of Mali and proclaimed the <em>Manden Charter<\/em> in the 13th century as the oldest declaration of basic human rights in the world.       <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>In this kaleidoscope of collective and intimate memories, Nadia Beugr\u00e9 is accompanied by Charlotte Dali and Sali Diabate: a griot storyteller and bearer of forgotten stories as well as a musician.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><br\/>ARTISTIC DIRECTION AND PERFORMANCE<\/strong>  Nadia Beugr\u00e9 | <strong>PERFORMANCE &amp; LIVE MUSIC <\/strong>Sali Diabate (percussions, balafon), Charlotte Dali (vocals, percussions) | <strong>DRAMATURGY <\/strong>Kader Lassina Tour\u00e9 | <strong>SCENOGRAPHY<\/strong> Jean-Christophe Lanquetin I <strong>LIGHTING<\/strong> Paulin Ouedraogo| <strong>PRODUCTION<\/strong> Virginie Dupray | <strong>COPRODUCTION<\/strong> Montpellier Danse, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Bruxelles, Charleroi danse &#8211; Centre chor\u00e9graphique national de la f\u00e9d\u00e9ration Wallonie Bruxelles, Festival d&#8217;Automne \u00e0 Paris, CCN de Caen en Normandie dans le cadre de l&#8217;accueil studio, Theater Freiburg, ICI CCN de Montpellier Occitanie \/ Direction : Christian Rizzo, dans le cadre du dispositif artiste associ\u00e9 | <strong>WITH THE SUPPORT OF <\/strong>DRAC Occitanie, French Ministry of Culture THANKS TO Ivoire Marionnettes and the Institut fran\u00e7ais de C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire.   <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nadiabeugre.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.nadiabeugre.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With \u00c9pique !
