Kirina
Serge Aimé Coulibaly / Rokia Traoré / Faso Danse Théâtre
Rhythm, colour and movement from a vibrant Africa
Serge Aimé Coulibaly turns major social issues into universal images. Kirina breaks down the barriers between ‘I’ and ‘the other’ and blends them into ‘we’. This music theatre portrays people on the move and takes its audience on a journey through history. Its innovative take on different music and dance traditions gives our western values and standards an affectionate but firm nudge.
