Save the date!
Wednesday 1 October 2014 andrà in scena la first of the play SAND
at the House of the People of Settignano (Florence) alle 21,15.
Sand arises from the non-profit organization with proven collaboration AfricaGriot Behind the Scenes Theatre and tells a hidden story, almost obscured by the rush of our days and forgotten by the media and by the comments of the news.
A history of the already distant 80s, that of Thomas Sankara, first president of Burkina Faso.
The show is an imaginary dialogue between the author and Sankara, a dialogue that unfolds over the life of the young president in a time and place unknown but which are the words of the man who challenged the powers of the world.
Sand speaks of Sankara, but not only; biography is a certain, but also tells the ideas, hopes, and the pride of a man who has crossed many borders: Geography, time but also the inequality among the many peoples that inhabit the Earth.
So the show that is presented is not a show "African", in the most concise and simplistic term, but as it is a universal man, whose history has gone well beyond the years of his presidency.
The proceeds of the evening will be used to finance cooperation projects of AfricaGriot non-profit organization in Burkina Faso and Mali.
