_Better Tomorrows can be performed in English
Mambo Jumbo is a street theatre creation halfway between masquerade and fashion show. A carnival-like parade composed of giants and characters with a rowdy look and mood whose contagious euphoria is transmitted like a virus through rhythm, dance, humour and derision.
Above all, Mambo Jumbo is a call for everyone to join the parade, to move, to dance, to create the conditions for a pandemic of good humour that spreads without distinction, without barriers, without borders.
A troupe of giants overruns the streets of the city. For the time of the parade it takes on the dress codes and musical rhythms of various emancipation movements, affirming with humour and a bit of arrogance the right of expression and dignity of struggling communities.
The participatory performance Ancestors retraces the adventures that have succeeded in uniting our ancestors from their various regions or countries of origin. Mixing everyday scenes and adventures, the narrative relies on articulated figurines, sculpted by the participants. Having features of dolls, puppets and statuettes, they tell of exile, resistance, love and most especially give life to the mysterious and invisible link that each of us has with our ancestors.
