C’est la fête et vous êtes invité !
Découvrons l’Afrique ! Liwanda Africa propose des contes, de la musique, des chansons et des danses d’Afrique de l’Ouest, d’Afrique centrale, d’Afrique de l’Est et d’Afrique australe. Venez découvrir les rythmes de l’Afrique avec la Reine Tantine Jacky et ses talentueux amis. Dans ce spectacle, la participation du public est requise pour aider un groupe d’amis à voyager dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique, où nous rencontrons des personnages emblématiques de nombreux contes populaires traditionnels. Mais notre voyage d’amitié ne peut se faire sans l’aide de tous nos amis du village ! Alors soyez prêts à taper des mains, chanter, danser et vous encourager les uns les autres pour traverser l’Afrique.
