LAST CHANCE TO SEE “SHEDA”
Those who have already seen it are still talking about the dazzling performance. Those who haven’t and want to know why there is so much buzz about it have their last chance to see it today, Saturday, at 6.30 PM at the Anfiteatro de Parque Centenario. “Shéda”, the work written by and starring Congolese dramatist Dieudonné Niangouna and the company Les Bruits de la Rue, is stunning in every sense of the word. “This time, Dieudonné Niangouna wanted to make a comprehensive work to embrace the world and its madness. He puts the story in the light of a current pressing need, the need of a poverty-stricken Africa struggling to find the voice of democracy. His activist theatre is not afraid of anything,” wrote Emmanuelle Bouchez for the website Telerama.fr – a quote urging readers not to miss this production: to attend the show, pick up your ticket (a maximum of 2 per person) 2 hours before the performance.
