Article 15
Article 15 is inspired by the Congolese philosophy 'débrouiller vous' (save yourself), which revolves around self-reliance and resilience. In the performance, young dancers from Brazzaville show how they deal with the challenges of their environment using creativity, humor, and perseverance.
Article 15 refers to a well-known unwritten philosophy in Congo Brazzaville: débrouiller vous (save yourselves). It stands for self-reliance, resourcefulness, and the daily art of survival. Choreographer Florent Mahoukou uses this as a starting point for a dance performance in which young performers from the contemporary dance scene of Brazzaville show that they are a generation that refuses to be limited by the circumstances in which they grow up.
On stage, beer crates—symbols of consumption and alienation—continuously take on new meanings. They become shelters, rhythm instruments, building blocks, and places of encounter. With perseverance, humor, and ingenuity, the dancers move through a world that imposes boundaries, yet in which imagination continually creates space. Through their resilience, creativity, and the power of dance, they find new ways to live in today's world.
