Guinean author Souleymane Bah is the winner of the “RFI Theater Prize” 2020, awarded this Sunday in Limoges as part of the French-speaking festival Les Zébrures d'automne.
He won this tromphée for his last piece "La Cargaison" written during confinement in France last March.
A veritable dance of death in which the characters are the dead in need of burial, hearses tired of doing their job, bullets complaining of being lodged in bodies, cemeteries tired of receiving remains.
