Les Ballets Africains de Guinee, une compagnie fondee en 1952, reviennent sur scene apres une interruption de vingt ans, selon un entretien accorde a RFI par Camara Abdoulaye, maitre de la flute parlante au sein du Ballet National de Guinee.
La troupe a presente la premiere europeenne de son nouveau spectacle, intitule "Mansa Moussa, Roi d'or", a Limoges, en France, dans le cadre du festival Zebrures, consacre aux ecritures et creations theatrales francophones et qui se poursuit jusqu'au 3 octobre.
Selon RFI, les Ballets Africains ont longtemps reuni des artistes originaires de plusieurs pays d'Afrique et sont devenus, au fil des decennies, un symbole du renouveau de la culture africaine sur la scene internationale.
Dans cet entretien, Camara Abdoulaye revient sur son role de maitre de la flute parlante, un instrument traditionnel associe a la transmission orale et musicale en Afrique de l'Ouest, sans que RFI ne precise davantage les details techniques de cette pratique.
Le retour de la compagnie, apres deux decennies d'absence, s'inscrit dans un mouvement plus large de valorisation du patrimoine artistique guineen, a travers des festivals francophones comme les Zebrures de Limoges.
