Pistes… | Performance musicale

This is the story of Penda Diouf's journey, setting off alone at age 20 to Namibia in the footsteps of the only Namibian athlete to have won an Olympic title, Frankie Fredericks, who has fascinated her since adolescence. It is the story of an investigation into the heart of this country, a land of red sand dunes where the first genocide of the twentieth century took place. A methodical massacre perpetrated by German colonizers against the Herero and the Nama. It is this journey and the discovery of this little-known historical episode that she recounts in Pistes..., a work of profound poetry where the intimate meets the universal.
