Pourvu que la mastication ne soit pas longue

Creation 2021 - Vive le sujet Avignon IN

Conception and performance by
Hakim Bah & Arthur B. Gillette & Juan Ignacio Tula

Pourvu que la mastication ne soit pas longue is the result of a meeting between three artists, three disciplines, three continents, and three journeys. At the crossroads of myth and the contemporary, Hakim Bah, a playwright with numerous works to his name, reinterprets the tragic in our current societies. Juan Ignacio Tula, a circus artist and dancer, a virtuoso of the Cyr wheel, explores and pioneers the possibilities of this apparatus. Arthur B. Gillette, founder of the band Moriarty, guitarist, and composer with a taste for wandering and ethereal landscapes.

They question police misconduct through a documented fiction based on a real event: the death of Amadou Diallo, a young Guinean man shot 41 times in the Bronx on February 4, 1999, by four New York City police officers. A deep dive into this case that shook America and the media.
