Part theatre, storytime and dance for little ones, we follow Yassama, a brave young girl who saves her village from a major catastrophe.
Created especially for young children, Yassama and the Beaded Calabash is the story of a young girl who, with the help of the old Baobab tree, saves her village from drought and delivers a powerful lesson about the importance of respecting and honouring Mother Earth.
Rooted in African oral tradition, acclaimed artist Lua Shayenne invites children into storytelling as active participants through rhythmic language, lively song, engaging movement and dance accompanied by live drumming and a rich percussive score.
Il y a très longtemps, quelque part dans un village dans un pays lointain, vivait autrefois une jeune fille qui s’appelait Yassama.
Yassama et la calebasse aux cauris est l’histoire d’une jeune fille qui, avec l’aide d’un vieux Baobab, sauve son village de la sécheresse et délivre une leçon puissante sur l’importance de respecter et d’honorer la Terre Mère.
L’artiste de renom Lua Shayenne mêle danse et musique à un récit captivant dans un spectacle interactif spécialement conçu pour les jeunes enfants.
