Baobab

Théâtre Motus, Québec & West Africa

...the result is amazing and the spectators themselves were completely taken by the magic of the show. Le Courrier du Sud

In Western Africa under a blazing sun, stands a forest of Baobabs, and in the middle of this forest stands a huge and ancient Baobab. One day, this ancient Baobab brings forth an egg. From this egg is born a little boy. But who is he? He becomes known as "The-One-Who-Unites". In search of his roots, he will discover that he is the only one who can release the source of the water. Join our tiny friend on a fabulous journey based on West African legends where you too will discover anything is possible under the magical influence of an ancient Baobab tree.

Dans cette région d'Afrique où une sécheresse sévit depuis très longtemps, se dresse un baobab millénaire. Voilà qu'un jour, de ce baobab naît un oeuf et, de cet oeuf, un petit garçon. Les villageois découvrent qu'il est le seul capable de libérer la source d'eau. Débute alors une grande quête où seul le courage d'un enfant peut changer le monde. Dans cet univers rempli de soleil, où l'ombre est réconfortante, les percussions africaines se transforment en animaux et les masques et marionnettes deviennent génies ou sorcières! Rejoignez notre ami dans un voyage fabuleux à travers les légendes ouest-africaines et découvrez vous aussi que tout est possible grâce à l'influence magique d'un baboab millénaire.

Théâtre Motus' production of "Baobab" is truly international. Created in partnership with the SÔ Company (Mali), Théâtre de la Ville (Longueuil) for a residency and in collaboration with Hamadoun Kassogué (Mali) and Ismaîla Manga (Senegal).
