Le Silence des champignons

Ensemble TaCTuS

Walangaan

Théâtre de la Guimbarde

Walangaan – water that flows in Wolof – tells the story of the water cycle in its own way. Water that waters, water that runs down the skin, water that splashes, water that cleans, water that sings, water that lulls, water that gushes. And the water that sometimes, more and more, runs out.
