Like greens that spring from a pile of manure, five young artists from the Kinshasa Collectif d’Art-d’Art sing their anguish, dance their survival and chant their anger about a Congolese society in constant retrograde. No aspect of life in this corner of the world escapes their diatribe.

Chronicle of a young Kinois. The actor, director and writer Michael Disanka (°1987) is one of the most inspiring of today’s Congolese voices. Since studying at the National Institute for the Arts in Kinshasa, where he was born, Disanka has emerged as a true chronicler of his generation.

In this production he reports on the recent history of his country in words, images and music. The theme is the road to change, with hope as an essential foundation, on a residue of despair.

Five young artists from the Collectif d’Artd’Art sing of their rage and fear and dance to save their lives. They mock the harsh reality of everyday life in the Congo in a story that is evidence of their turbulent existence. Not a single aspect of life in this part of the world escapes their tirade.
