Laughing together

 

 


 

 

Laughing together

A display, with different faces, with the actors who have just finished rehearsal and are enjoying the show of the "Perroquets de Bangui": men, women, girls and boys, Muslims and Christians altogether.

This is the collection of the work week here in Baoro, with the theater that is a means of peace, social cohesion, respect and hospitality.

After 3 days of training with the teachers of the "Perroquets de Bangui" group, the thirty boys and girls of the 3 communities (Protestants, Catholics and Muslims) are ready to act, and to bring a serene and positive message to the city.

Friday morning we were at the highschool. In addition to more than 1,000 students, many other young people and children have also joined.  The young people begin, they have 3 skits that describe the everyday life in this area, with its joys and problems, and how, through dialogue, respect and welcomed discussions, these problems can be resolved.

They have garnered a lot of attention, and the actors are purposeful and committed, and they perform very well.

Once they are done their performance Evariste, Benjamin and Malicra, of the 3 "Perroquets de Bangui", close the show with other skits.  In addition to making people laugh, they also make people think and reflect.

On Saturday afternoon the show took place between a Protestant church and the mosque in the neighborhood where over 3,000 peuls (Muslims, nomads, who have returned to Central Africa after 5 years refugees in Cameroon) live.

It is nice to see people of different races, faiths and ages, united by smiles and laughter.

Sunday was the last show, right in the city center. Here too the young people performed with confidence and professionalism, followed by the 3 Perroquets.

It was a very beautiful experience, which brought joy and laughter, reflection and new friendships, especially among the young people.

So we hope, in one way or another, to be able to continue it, perhaps with a theater school ...
