The Gazelle Mandiak company brings together the artistic talents of various horizons: the griots of West Africa, Western musicians, Afro-contemporary dancers and actors. With this funny and moving show, the group engages the younger public in a contemporary tale of the discovery of Africa, complete with traditional music and dance (djembes, doum doum, balafon, flute and song) and their teeming imaginations. 

This is an invitation to re-examine one’s view of oneself and others, and to question differences, global warming and memories of the past.
