NADIA BEUGRÉ IS AN ARTIST STANDING APART, AN UNDAUNTED ADVENTURER, AND HERE SHE HAS AN ARRANGEMENT FOR TWO WOMEN FROM ABIDJAN, TWO REBELS WHO ADDRESS THE AUDIENCE WITH HUMOR AND PANACHE, WITH NO HOLDS BARRED. A WARM, LIBERATING MAELSTROM.
In the Abobo district in Abidjan they were called “Big Truck” and “Chinawoman”, and it was there in her childhood neighborhood that Nadia Beugré discovered these two outrageous performing artists, one who looks as if she is the queen of the neighborhood, while the other is more athletic, a boxer and indefatigable dancer. They are not bound by any conventional image of what a woman should be, and they shatter the familiar rules of the stage, handling a huge ball of white molded matter as a tool for their dancing, fighting, doing acrobatics, all directly in relationship with the body, with matter and with the audience, in superb mastery of what is an artistic guerilla attack.
