In the Central African Republic, the theater group Perroquets de Bangui returned yesterday, Wednesday 25 August, from the Monaco World Amateur Theater Festival.
The theater group Bangui Parrots participated in Monaco, as part of World Theateramateur, with his play entitled The Veterans, which questions the situation on the African continent, fifty years after independence.,
It consists of three actors and is a troupe with a humorous repertoire, but it also produces didactic pieces for institutions. The troop especially helped to raise awareness about the coronavirus.
“We are proud, we are happy, because our participation in this World Cup gives a little color to our Central African Republic”, rejoiced Gervais Symphorien Kpignon, known by the nickname “baba kpignon”, together with Charlotte Cosset of the Africa service.
When we talk about the Central African Republic “many people think of murders, repeated coups, massacres, lament the troupe’s artistic leaders. Our participation in this world gives a different picture of our country. It is a great pride for us, a great joy. Those who do not know the Central African Republic well, through our participation could also discover a country that lives on its art. ”
Working conditions are not easy in the Central African Republic, but “we can do it. There is no particularly good soundproof room for shows. For us artists, it’s a little difficult, but we do it. “And this recognition in Monaco is an encouragement. “It motivates us a lot to continue on this momentum, we will not give up, we will not wash our thumbs, we will continue to save our art.”
