✊ Aujourd’hui, c’est la journée internationale pour la lutte des droits des femmes.

Une occasion de faire entendre les voix qui souvent sont tues.
Mais au Varia, c’est toute l’année, tout au long de la saison et de la programmation que nous mettons en avant les femmes, leur art et leurs combats.

Entre autres, ÉCOUTE ! la création d’Ifeoma Fafunwa, une célébration de la voix des femmes, au service d’un théâtre puissamment humain.

Lors de ses différents séjours en Belgique, Ifeoma Fafunwa a recueilli des témoignages de femmes, qu’elle invite aujourd’hui à s’emparer du théâtre, pour porter une parole pleine de vitalité. Rejointes sur scène par des comédiennes belges et nigérianes, les voix de ces femmes forment ensemble un chœur puissant et généreux, qui bouscule les frontières et les inégalités.

🗣 ÉCOUTE ! - Ifeoma Fafunwa
📅 19 — 22.04
📍Théâtre Varia

I was deeply inspired by the bravery, talent and commitment shown by the women in Makoko. They set aside time during their busy days to participate in this important Art for Change project. They shared their stories with their community and spoke to leadership.

I took this photo ten years ago when my children thought I was a hilarious magician and could hear my voice ring across a field. Now, on the rare occasion that my children hear me through a head-phoned-TikTok-YouTube-hurricane; my words are distant, unexpected, corny interruptions.
Happy Children’s Day! @ Lagos, Nigeria

Every human being is bound by the fundamental human rights and no gender should be treated as less, hence, human rights are also women's rights, no more, no less.
