"FEDORA, Inspiring, motivating, benevolent through its actions that don't leave me indifferent. The time I've spent looking at and following your actions has given me a few signs of hope that could make my work seen on an international scale. Your teams are superb in their welcome, and in setting up our communication tools around our projects. FEDORA, always, to cross borders."
Abdoulaye Trésor KONATE, Choreographer and Director Artistic
My career and my projects reflect a deep connection with my African roots, as well as a clear desire to convey strong messages through dance, which I relate to the upheavals of our world. I aim to paint a picture of everyday life that is at once committed, powerful, poetic and humanist, all carried by a certain form of transgression and aesthetics of disorder, which opens onto the spaces of the human soul, of mixed light and darkness. My approach and contemporary choreographic writing, imbued with African spiritualities and nourished by a humanist sensibility, respect for human dignity and these sacred rights, develops with creations of contemporary original music.

SUPPORT OUR ORGANISATION
Thanks to this donation, we'll be able to better showcase the work of our talented artists. It will also enable us to improve our lighting and costume design to provide a better experience for our audiences. If you choose us, we'll be able to develop innovative new programs around the lullaby. This is a unique opportunity to captivate and inspire audiences through the spellbinding fusion of dance and music. Together, these two arts will lift the spirit and create an unforgettable experience.

ABOUT "NØTRE BØLÉRØ"
Inspired by the very specific rhythm of Ravel's Bolero, I decided to create my own Bolero, entitled "Nøtre Bølérø", drawing on the links I've created between the original pulse and lullabies, African ritornellos and the Boloye dances of the panther men from my home town of Korhogo. Accompanied by five dancers and two musicians (drummer, flutist), the aim is to create an original musical work based on the five parameters of Ravel's Bolero: Time, Rhythm, Melody, Modulation and Ritornello. The dancers will each carry one of these parameters to build a living orchestra.
