Les Inepties volantes

Once upon a time, there was a civil war, one of many, as terrifying and destructive as all the others. It was in 1997 in Congo-Brazzaville. It lasted several years, almost three. Dieudonné Niangouna lived it in his flesh and in his spirit. Today, he can finally deliver a text on the subject, a text he kept hidden for a long time, convinced as he was that all survivors can only be cowards because they didn't die as heroes. A "heap of nonsense", one of which - Les Barricades - is at the heart of this duet of words and music that takes us on a journey into tragedy, a journey into unreality, a journey into an elsewhere we'd rather not know. It's also a journey of reconstruction, as the author and storyteller Niangouna writes and performs to bring these moments of violence and fear back to life, shouting them out.
