"Supiim", or when the wisdom of the blacksmith is expressed on a stage with the words of a storyteller.
The Burkinabè Kientega Pingdéwindé Gérard, known as KGB, puts the magic of fire and iron at the service of art.
On the occasion of the Zébrures d'automne at the Francophonies festival in Limousin, the artist has set up, at the Sirque de Nexon, a real blacksmith's workshop to forge his words, extract iron and transform the public.
