"At a time when exotic cultures are often merely tagged on to Western works, Maboungou utilizes her sources with artistic integrity."

Victor Svoboda, The Gazette, May 22, 2010

Night is good counsel, so they say. It is the “flip side” of day, although in our societies it has lost much of this privilege, as day and night have converged more and more. Nevertheless, darkness remains a factor clouding our perception. Our angst about dark forces lurking there can then take form.

Already in Lwàza, Zab counted on the varied physical personalities of the performers, who became the canvas for gestures/rhythms. She is planning to once again explore this aspect in Montréal by night. However in this new work the musical framework will play out “in parallel” to mark both alternance and distinction, and bring contrasts into play in terms of form, highlighting movement’s ability to emerge and turn darkness inside out. This new creation reaffirms the principle of scenography integrated to the musical dimension and agitation on stage, melding articulations while remaining detached and “operating” autonomously.
