Portrait désir

A whimsical fresco centered on multiple female characters, ultra-contemporary or historical, where farce and tragedy combine. Spirits rub shoulders with the living, as in the nocturnal tales of the author's grandmother, the founding figure to whom this journey is dedicated.

Four actresses, two actors and two musician-actors project this gallery of powerful shadows, traversing Greek mythology or the slave trade to come to question each other in a jazz club! There's no nostalgia here, just the questioning of a possible future. An abundant polyphonic musical fable carried by Dieudonné Niangouna's opulent, imaginative, sometimes funny, sometimes exalted language.
