30/01/2009
Beautiful and fabulous creation that made Friday, December 30, 2009 at the Palais de la Culture in Abidjan Kagnondé by the Company in connection with the 6th edition of Season of Dance.
After the launch of the December 19 edition last Kagnondé (which means "that's how we dance" language Ivorian wobee ;), is the first company to occupy the Hall stage Niangoran Porquet Palace of Culture in Abidjan. The spectacle presented by this set is an artistic creation recent titled "Lossitôt. The word from the language Atchan (or Ebrie) means "our way".
Difficult path than the one on which Africa and her son committed. Exodus littered with bumps to a better life, exile from home, away from the maternal breast, near the Foodland.
With "Lossitôt" Pe ; Zéréhoué hula troupe and exploring a form of writing choreography inspired by the amount of experience in the world today which is becoming a big global village. The source of this creation is obviously deepest Africa. The choreography is breath generously soaked while drinking from contemporary echoes ranging up to flirt with the peaceful uprising of the underground movements, such a hint of hip hop good of our time.
The show opens with a slow walking pace of a melancholy song rocked by the tears of a saxophone. In this picture emerges of both pain and determination to move forward. Patience and perseverance. Sober costumes and makeup we project into the magic of Africa yesterday, today and tomorrow certainly a transfigured. The melody is beautiful, harmonious, and penetrates the heart to win to unknown shores. From the outset, we embarked on this journey towards the fulfillment of man.
The following table symbolizes a difficult delivery. Wrapped like a cocoon, the pupa struggles, writhes, trying to escape.
Following these efforts, the man seeking a new life out of his chrysalis. He shouted his strength and his will to live fully. Her rage becomes a communicative gestural language which triggers the dance and trance drums and other percussion instruments. The heritage of Côte d'Ivoire has visited and enriched by borrowing from elsewhere. Several tables will be well succeed until the end of the journey that embodies the victory of man on the implacable destiny.
Beau spectacle that actually opens the season in 2009 and which gives not as the quality of creations that the public can enjoy the days and months to come to room Niangoran Porquet.
The Director General of Culture Palace of Abidjan, Sidiki Bakaba and founder of Ki-Yi Village, Were-Were Liking were in the front row and have not failed to appreciate and encourage Péhoula Zéréhoué and his company for the quality of their show. Were-Were Liking was especially proud of this performance that Péhoula Zéréhoué counted among his best disciples before taking off in creating the Company Kagnondé in 2000.

On a long way & hellip ;
On a long sandy road hot, dry wind,
On a long road ...
On a long road covered with a heavy and terrible silence
On a long road covered with a heavy and terrible silence broken by the melodious songs of birds
On a long road ...
Young people walk, crushed by suffering and pain, walk,
Stumble, fall, rise, but hard to argue argue,
Walk, walk, walk
On their path of obstacles,
On their way than battles to fight,

Will they one day after all this suffering? From all this misery?
Will they ever win the final?

The end is near,
