Du désir d´horizons / Desire of Horizons

SALIA SANOU
Burkina Faso
[HAU2]

With Du Désir d’horizons, Salia Sanou picks up on his favorite themes: loneliness and otherness of the individual, but also the question of territory, uprooting, exile, and borders. Here he processes his impressions from refugee camps in Burundi and Burkina Faso where he gave workshops as part of the project “Refugees on the Move”. Threatened by jihadist occupation and the fights in neighbouring Mali a lot of people have to get along in a confined space while trying to overcome their trauma.

Du désir d’horizons is not a show about refugee camps as such, but more a composition with a choreographic vocabulary, with room for understanding and reflection on the delicate situation facing refugees that echoes in us all. The horizon is the future, a vanishing line, an open space.
