She could give us a lesson in things, dance, and above all a lesson in darkness, the title of Betty Tchomanga’s latest creation. Never heard of it ? Never seen dancing? We must repair ESM this great injustice of the eyes and the head.
Let’s start small patapon with her literary side (she has a master’s degree in Modern Literature), let’s continue with her training as a choreographic artist at the CNDC (National Center for Contemporary Dance in Angers) with an Emmanuelle Huynh who we savored In Sol Major. The finishes could revolve around a definition of herself: singer-songwriter. Betty Tchomanga which combines French and Cameroonian origins with the art of the territory. That of the danced metamorphosis. Marked as much by Casey’s punchy rap as by the voodoo deity Mami Wata, in 2020 she signed Masquerade, an unforgettable feverish solo. Also marked by A decolonial ecology, by Malcom Ferdinand, she dances today against the destruction of the earth and gives us a hell of a lesson of darkness, touring show on our little European globe…

Betty Tchomanga is associate artist of the DansFabrik Festival in Brest from February 28 to March 4, 2023.
