Dieudonné Niangouna | Republic of the Congo
A thunderous declaration of love to the art of everyday life
Snack bars, kiosks, stalls, bush taxis, a wrestling ring, a VIP lounge, a police station, a hairdresser and a revivalist church: The End of the Legend is a theatrical research project inspired by the atmosphere conveyed by African megacities such as Brazzaville, Ouagadougou and Kinshasa. Actors from three African countries further develop the form of this performance from venue to venue. This performance will be adapted for a blackbox theatre for the first time at Festival Theaterformen. Niangouna's guiding theme is the street. His art and a provocative language with explosive power originates there. Cascades of poetic, classical and common words question the violent history of the Congo from a present-day perspective. However, Niangouna's theatre offers more than powerful words. His stage is a building site where theatre is forceful, loud, filthy and extremely physical.
The actor, writer and director Dieudonné Niangouna will be associate artist at the Festival d’Avignon 2013.
