Description

The Magic-Mandinka Workshop presented by Stève Viès and Estelle Lavoie is an immersive adventure at the heart of the magic and fascinating rituals of West Africa. Through this adventure, children will have the opportunity to experience and learn about several cultural aspects of the traditions of this region of Africa.

During the first 30 minutes, Stève and Estelle will present themselves and share with the children their cultural origins, the artistic link that unites them, the story behind how they met, a geographical positioning and some information on the everyday life in West Africa. They will also share their common vision on the openness towards multiculturalism as well as having access to African art and culture.

Thereafter, each workshop will last 45 minutes. Groups will be created (up to a maximum of 25 participants per group) and will experience, in rotation, one of the dances, songs, rhythms and visual arts workshops offered by Stève and Estelle.

At the end of the day, for 45 minutes, Stève and Isabelle will present their show called "Yacouba, l’enfant pauvre devenu roi,” a musical, colourful and varied show that highlights all the learning that the children have done during the day (dance, percussion, signing). The show even includes magnificent marionettes from Mali. This is a real journey through the discovery of West Africa's musical instruments, dances and songs.
