(…) Nine young performers (six male dancers and three female dancers, one of whom has a powerful, mesmerizing voice) display remarkable energy and invigorating freshness. The choreography blends contemporary, urban, and African movement vocabularies, with grounded weight and feet pounding the floor. The “exquisite corpse” takes shape and gives rise to a “magical monster” (the meaning of Siguifin in Bambara)—protean yet fluid and coherent—offering moments of sheer delight.
