Description
 Spectacles rituels. Dakar, Abidjan, Lomé: NEA, 1987. (158p.). ISBN 2 7236 0925 1. Théâtre. AUTEURS: WEREWERE LIKING, MARIE JOSE HOURANTIER "THE HANDS MEAN... attempts to rediscover a living mysticism, capable of creating a dialogue that reflects today's reality. This show attempts to shape a contemporary language that will have nothing to envy from the magic of traditional rituals. Why shouldn't there be another ceremonial magic just as capable of restoring disturbed harmony? RAINBOW MEASLES is the third production of this genre, premiered on April 16, 1982, at the German Cultural Center in Abidjan. This show took advantage of previous lessons to further integrate the audience into the ritual circle and provoke the "spell" anticipated as essential in the first production, which had not always succeeded. After the illness that causes a decisive shock, the death of THE POWER OF UM that promotes renewal, RAINBOW MEASLES prepares the man internally, shaping his judgment like the initiated "great men" of tradition. This ritual for a trial leads the spectator to this crucial stage where he finds himself facing "the terror of the threshold" and learns to know himself. RAINBOW MEASLES embodies all the social ills that attack the old pillars (the Old), the modern upstarts (the Historians, the Intellectuals) and the Women. It attacks, searches, crushes, lacerates, destroys, reorganizes... A judgment is necessary to acquire the art of looking at oneself, of looking in order to serve one's society as once did."
