Air de Temps tells of an urgent need to speak out, to delve into lost dreams, confront demons and to have a voice. It is a powerful process of taking action to shed the cloak of failure, handed down generation after generation. This cinematic film is set mostly in Bargny, a coastal town situated in Senegal, and is a response to the theatre work ‘Air de Temps’ for the Jant-Bi II company based at École des Sables, Senegal.
The work has been presented at Institute Français, Dakar and St Louis, Senegal and was part Kigali Triennal, Rwanda. The short version toured in Banjul, Gambia, Bissau, Guinee Bissau, Ziguinchor and Thiès in Senegal.
Ecole des Sables explores the unknown, the spiritual, and the transmission of ancestral cultures from the African continent to create live performances.
