I have a dream – the iconic phrase by Martin Luther King inspired the title of Salia Sanou’s creation D’un Rêve. Sanou, a choreographer and dancer from Burkina Faso, dreams of a collective in which we prevails over I, a dream of a reconciled humanity that would ban the domination of people and bodies forever. With D’un Rêve Sanou pursues his exploration of themes linked to borders, exile, identity and otherness. An engaged artist and civil rights activist, he describes how African pop culture has contributed to writing a chapter about his people’s redemption. The seriousness of the subject matter, however, does not overshadow levity for Sanou and he opts for a form of a danced comedy: D’un Rêve is musical which sings and dances a hymn to life and creates an epic tale about the history of the black body.
