Amondo fils du Baobab

Amondo fils du Baobab

In West Africa, a gigantic baobab tree stands in the centre of a village in the grip of a terrible drought. Long ago, at the beginning of the world, it fell in love with the earth. By burying its roots deep into the earth, it gave birth to a magical story, which nevertheless took a dramatic turn for the worse for nature, people and animals. At the heart of this story is Amondo, the son of the baobab tree, known as the 'giver'. He is the only one who can give hope to the villagers by freeing the water source from the evil spell cast on it by the sun. But the child's quest can only be completed by passing four difficult tests.

This play plunges us into the wonderful world of original African stories, at a time when the moon, the trees and the animals spoke to men.
