In his creation “Interior Voices (Manifesto)”, choreographer Yves Mwamba summons a dancer, a musician and an activist for a manifesto against the absurdity of the world.
A dancer, a musician, an activist, all three Congolese. In a triangle of bodies and poetic languages, they restore these thousands of voices that boil inside their country without being able to express themselves, so many dreams stifled in brutality.
In support of citizen movements demanding the most basic rights – the provision of water and electricity for all, protection, education, free (and not rigged) voting, an end to recruitment forced children into the army to find raw materials - Yves Mwamba takes offense out loud at the contempt of the leaders of the Congo. It is a tribute to the activism of committed but flouted youth, pacifist and determined, non-violent and yet burned alive. Dialogue with the stage space which evolves as if through a militant march, the three performers summon and reveal, in the intertwining of vocal, dance and musical cords, a disastrous political context.
Yves Mwamba makes bodies move to compensate for the missing words, with his choreographic vocabulary tinged with krump, his dark and sunny dance, rough and sulphurous.
On a sound creation composed of ambiances and voices collected in the Congo, this surprising trio instills a vibrant energy, a vital cohesion, which resonate with a universal human richness: the perseverance to stand up.

NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.

The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
