Who is Maurice Bejart: One of the most prominent European dance choreographers of our century
Germaine Acogny and the fabulous dancers taking a bow
Why would they honor him all the way in Dakar: Simply because he loved our Africa, he saw the beauty of our dance and thought it was important to bring Western techniques in order to dev’ African Dance. In Dakar helped by Germaine Acogny he founded the Mudra Afrique School….
Why did I want to attend: The energy from the dancers that we
re from various parts of West Africa..the fro-atitude….curiosity abt the Bejart legacy…curiosity abt the Acogny myth
Verdict: Beautiful, interesting, lovely evening
Fav’ part: Seeing all these ‘natural” African brothers and sisters on top of a Senegalese stage performing for the very first time some of his most extraordinary pieces…
Yaye
Dakar ...Creating life memories..:)
