“A stunning spectacle” – The New York Times
Faso Danse Théâtre | Serge Aimé Coulibaly & Rokia Traoré can be seen with KIRINA from 17 February in Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Bruges
For Kirina, choreographer Serge Aimé Coulibaly was inspired by “The Battle of Kirina” in present-day Guinea, which created the Mandinka empire. For West Africa, that battle is just as mythical as the Battle of Waterloo for us. At the intersection of fiction and history, Kirina is about a people who hopefully and rebelliously look for their destination.
