Dancer of the Company Kongo Ba Teria (Burkina Faso) in the piece "Vin Nem ".

Vin Nem is perhaps inspired by one goal: existence. This need to exist is conveyed through the use of flour, which represents the food of life, and water, which at the end of the piece bathes and purifies the dancers’ bodies. The work tries to elucidate the truth by taking the audience into a metaphysical land hovering somewhere between tradition and modernity.
