Ça va, ça va le monde !
With RFI
Togo
Since 2013, Ça va, ça va le monde! has served as a sounding board and a laboratory where writers and audience members share—often for the first time—the experience of speaking. Whether through staged readings or musical performances, language flows, brought to life by the performers. An encounter with literature from the Global South. This series of readings on RFI offers listeners the chance to discover authors from the French-speaking world whose works tell different stories. The present and current events are often at the heart of these plays, which are marked by the need to give voice to the wounds of their history: war, colonialism, corruption, and patriarchy.
Urged by her TikTok community to show Kantanbolo—the sacred, idyllic water source of her childhood that she has often spoken about—Bamifa returns to her village after a long absence. She discovers that Kantanbolo and the sacred catfish that once inhabited it no longer exist. This shakes her beliefs and identity. In search of the truth and guided by her grandmother, she tries to understand why the source has dried up and how it might be restored. While the source did exist, everything else is fiction, serving this ecological tale in the age of social media.
Jeannine Dissirama Bessoga is a Togolese artist known for her versatility across writing, theatre and cinema. Initially trained in film, she was introduced to dramaturgy through La Fabrique de Fictions in Togo. Her first theatre text, Koufaltom, was created in 2022 at Centre Intermondes in La Rochelle. The following year, she was awarded the Odyssée programme of the European network of cultural centres, leading to Entredeux. The Gods Are Drumming is her third play, written during a residency at the Maison des auteurs et autrices in Limoges in 2024 and 2025.
