via Lefaso.net1 hour ago2 min read
Burkinabe company Dafra Cirque performed "Bus Stop," a piece on child protection during crises, at the 14th edition of the Market for African Arts and Spectacle of Abidjan MASA on Wednesday, April 15. The performance, featuring four acrobats, used physical narration to denounce violence against children in times of crisis, power dynamics between peoples, and the involvement of youth in conflicts. Acrobats Moustafa Konaté, who is also a choreographer for the company, expressed pleasure and honor in presenting the show at MASA. The performance, characterized by acrobatic feats, unstable balances, and human staircases, captivated the audience, including 11-year-old Yohann, who admired the impressive figures. Beyond the message of child protection, Dafra Cirque also aims to promote fraternity between the people of Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. Other artists, including Miss Tanya and Serge Aimé Coulibaly, are also representing Burkina Faso at the 14th MASA, which continues until April 18.
