"Universality is the main axis of my work. It represents the attempt not to flatten myself into an exclusively Antillean vision, overcoming tradition even if the gestures remain faithful to it."
Chantal Loïal
The dancers and musicians of Difé Kako narrate the evolution of a culture through traditional gestures and instruments, weaving the fabric of that original artistic métissage that distinguishes Chantal Loïal's choreographic language. The choice of a dance conference expresses the desire to involve the audience directly in this narrative, leading them through the rhythms and traditional African dances to understand the creative process of the company, without neglecting the warmth and vitality that characterize its style.
