Ivory Coast: the myth of Queen Pokou told in a new show. The text is that of a work by Véronique Tadjo, Reine Pokou.
Concerto for a Sacrifice, published in 2004. Abla Pokou was both an Ashanti princess - present-day Ghana - in exile. She was the founding queen of the Baoulé kingdom, and an infanticidal mother, who saved her people by sacrificing the crown prince. A modern figure, for the director Françoise Dô, whose dilemmas still resemble ours.
