Yassama et la calebasse aux cauris (Yassama and the Cowrie Shell)

Back to programming

Yassama et la calebasse aux cauris (Yassama and the Cowrie Shell)

The well in young Yassama’s village is drying up. Every day, she must travel further to fetch water. She’s worried about the future of her family: will she be able to save her community from the drought that threatens them? An old Baobab tree and a mysterious calabash help Yassama learn the limits of the nature that feeds her.

At the crossroads of African oral tradition, theatre, and dance, this show offers young audiences praise of perseverance and humility in the form of a timeless ecological tale.

For 3 to 6 year olds.
