For decades, under the influence of party, our country has been led by guides in the image of His Excellency < / i>. The vital force that drives this man is from the lion and the panther as before these mythical heroes of ancient Africa. His Excellency is a kind of demiurge, whose birth and the advent were announced by the soothsayers and cosmic elements.
dawn of his first few seasons were like the preliminaries of all human possibilities. He carried with him all the hopes, promises of fertility, size and elevation of a nation or continent, channeled by the breath of spirituality.
But when
as "a tyrant who spares no »(*), love, like a Greek god is playing human destinies, precipitates the one who has not yet His Excellency < / b> in the vertigo of love thwarted Racine, impossible and fatal, everything changes. He is in love with Margaret, who loves another ...
conquest of the woman he loved, he is ready to walk over corpses. And it is there in the tropics African sounding waltz of coups.
gifted become an army general, and not the pope, took power. A grotesque dictatorship and Machiavellian moves. It is held in check by the Grand Bank, the West, which dictates its will, as to require a multiparty democracy and a la carte. But beyond this relationship of domination, there is a whole system dark secret: a mafia made up by the powers that hold the world, called the Movement, and as to which one adheres to a covenant of life and death. His Excellency is a member.
defeated in the presidential election by his niece, Binta, against whom he can not act without incurring misfortune, since it is also gas panther totem, he opted for a symbol of liberation that although the end of a reign, but also the opening to a new era of hope for his people.

This is neither difficult parturition determinism or fatalism. To stop it requires the awakening of our common responsibility as Binta only belong to one to accept or not accept the membership card of the Movement ... Depends on this change and the real democratic alternative.
aesthetic choice of the staging is a continuation of "That's the same here" and "What is even. There is a hand highlighting details and subtleties of the dramatic text supported by the acting, and secondly the creation of vivid images and memories from the scenarios described in the dialogues or suggested simply by punctuation. The dominance of black and white sets and costumes borrowed from the technique of flashback in film, consisting often move from color to black and white, or create a fog effect to evoke dreams of past events . Also, the option of black and white she crystallizes in this scene the image of a black African who clings to a past of suffering. Moreover, she may refuse to take a long time its development and sovereignty, in accordance with democratic principles and human rights?
