Research residency.

Pagnes Arrachés aims to question the condition of today's African woman...

What is the position of women on the black continent, and what are the challenges they face today at a time when talk of gender equality is rampant? How can she position herself in the face of age-old male economic domination? How can it find its way in the post-colonial era? And what place should she take, or rather, what place should she be given?

In a quadraphonic spatialized broadcasting system, this project will create a scenic writing based on the back-and-forth between the timbres of the vibraphone, theremin and voices transformed in real time by electronics, and on the other hand, like sound poetry, the sung-spoken voices of the two musicians oscillating with that of the narration. 

The fundamentals of this project essentially stem from the need to develop international exchanges between French and foreign artists, while respecting the specificities of both parties. We plan to make this a reality by bringing the two female authors/actresses to France and the two French musicians to Africa. The project consists of creating a different opus with each Beninese and Ivorian author.
