AIR DE TEMPS
Director – Ben WilliamsArtistic director & choreographer – Alesandra Seutin
Boul Faalé generation screaming for their promised land
We don’t give f..k but we fear God.
Ancestors, where are you?
This next gen needs you.
AIR DE TEMPS tells of an urgent need to speak out, to delve into lost dreams, to confront your demons and regurgitate your resentment – have a voice. It’s a powerful process of taking action to shed the cloak of failure handed down generation after generation.
This cinematic film is set mostly in Bargny, a coastal town situated in Senegal and is a response to the in-process theatre work ‘Air de Temps’ for the Jant-Bi II company based at École des Sables, Senegal and artistically led by Alesandra Seutin and Wesley Ruzibiza.
