At a public square at night in Ouagadougou. The country is suddenly awoken. Together some people re-enact the events of the day. NUIT BLANCHE À OUAGADOUCOU is inspired by social movements that have shaken Africa in the very recent past. Coulibaly takes a clear political position and has gained international attention. The premiere of the performance coincided with the the people’s uprising against president Blaise Compaoré. Seldom art and reality are as close to each other as here. One of the protagonists of the piece, the rapper Smockey, who wrotes the music and the textes, is among the leaders of the civil rights movement ‚Le balai citoyen‘ that brought down Blaise Compaoré’s regime.
