— Les Basketteuses de Bamako

“After the creation of Maputo-Mozambique, I want to return to Africa and experience its gestures and musicality.

The plan is to create an artistic piece based on what I see as heterogeneous practices (sport and juggling-dance-music); to play with the qualities of Malian women basketball players and their sense of music, song and dance, and then to create a piece of juggling-music from that.”
