Salia Sanou

Born in Burkina Faso, Salia Sanou studied drama and African dance before joining Mathilde Monnier's company. It was the beginning of a long career made of encounters and travels. He created his own company, Mouvements perpétuels, in 2011, and created many shows, including Du désir d'horizons (Of the desire for horizons) in 2016. Since 2006, he has been co-director, with Seydou Boro, of La Termitière, the Centre for choreographic development in Ouagadougou: “If la termitière lives, it's because it adds earth to the Earth.” Titinga Frédéric
