TcheTche : the Sans Reperes - without reference

Sans Repères, Without Reference 1999
Second Price of the third African
Contemporary Choreographic Creation Meetings.

Photography Frédérique Billoir

This creation takes its roots in the disappointments of the African modern society, especially regarding the place granted to youth.

Photographies Frédérique Billoir

African Youth, with crossed civilizations, cultures and companies, seeks new reliable and solid reference marks. Taken in the clippers of the structural adjustments programs and the resulting crises, of the blow-of states, the democracies without face and the loss of the ancestral values, African youth doesn't really know any more where to draw the subsistence of its spirit and its body.

	Universalization or traditionalism ?
	Internet or djumbé ?
	North or South ?
	Maintenance of the assistance and the dependency or search of self-sufficiency ?

"Sans Repère" - without reference - doesn't have the claim to answer this expansion of fundamental questions but wants to be the expression of this questionnement, the mirror of this groping with continental dimension.
