Скачать или смотреть BARKA Theatre Troupe Arrives on the Scene

As part of its Social Art Program, BARKA Foundation was commissioned by One Drop Foundation (created by Guy Laliberté, Cirque de Soleil's visionary founder) to create a theatre troupe in Burkina Faso to sensitize villagers and students about clean water, sanitation & hygiene. BARKA did much more than that. BARKA's creative team produced an original "spectacle" that also demonstrated how important it is to collect micro-payments from all water users, and the key role women play in water resource management. It was watched by over 13,000 people and performed 32 times in 45 days during the hottest time of the year (temps in the range of 120F). BARKA is currently editing a film of the experience for Burkina television.
In this excerpt the troupe has already arrived and been welcomed by the village or school, sets up the stage, sound and lights, and begins to play with the crowd to attract a large audience.
The music is a song called Denke Denke by Dicko Fis and was one of the most popular in the nation of Burkina Faso at the time of the theatrical tour.
