The fourth edition of ‘Africa Simply the Best’ took place in the Burkinese town of Bobo-Dioulasso in December 2021. This unique night of NEXT bundles the three winning solos.<\/p>\n

Bibata Ibrahim Ma\u00efga – Esprit Bavard<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can you move freely in a world that is cluttered with the compelling traditions of your predecessors ? In this solo dancer and actress Bibata Ibrahim Ma\u00efga wants to liberate the individual. From walls that obstruct perspective, from the social pressure that is imposed on it.<\/p>\n

Asanda Ruda \u2013 Kemet (Black Land)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruda’s dance carreer started in the communities of South-African Soweto. In 2020 she joined the Pina Bausch Foundation where she danced in The Rite of Spring<\/em>. Her solo is about generation differences and cultural emancipation. How do you disrupt political sameness to be able to be yourself ?<\/p>\n

Tchina Ndjidda \u2013 CROSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Activist Tchina Ndjidda based this migration story of a young dancer on his own experiences. The solo tells us about a search for pride and love, about the sorrow and the frustrations that are part of it but also about the power and the hope the dancer gets out of his experience. A mix of contemporary hip-hop with ritual and traditional dance from North- Cameroun.<\/p>\n
