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.

The best tattoo parlors in Marais

Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
