Génération A Festival: Double Bill

Created in 2017 at the Théâtre Paris-Villette in France under the artistic direction of Alioune Diagne and Fatima Ndoye, Génération A is a dance festival whose focus is to give visibility to young contemporary creation from the African continent.

A double-bill of high energy of contemporary African choreography reflecting on love, loss and the important role of relationships in our survival.

Initiated by choreographers Fatima Ndoye and Alioune Diagne, the dance festival is dedicated to contemporary choreography made by artists working in French-speaking African countries.

Xarito

‘Xarito’ is the Wolof word for friendship. Drawing on their battles and collaborations as bboys, Gaël Ndécky and El Hadji Malick (Senegal) share a unique and personal encounter. Dancing through their trials, tensions, joys and connections, ‘Xarito’ reflects the precious bonds of friendship.

A Qui Le Tour?

'Whose turn is it?' questions the body and mind in the face of the loss of a loved one. Through shock, anger, memories and despair, but also a form of rebirth, Agathe Djokam invites the audience to experience, share and transform these phases of life into a powerful moment of creation: how can we transcend this inescapable and common fact of our existence?
