Ça va, ça va le monde !
With RFI
Burundi
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.
Two twin sisters, bound by a secret, find themselves at the heart of an environmental and political crisis. One, imprisoned for defying power by drawing the forbidden Star, fights for her freedom, while the other, within the government, uses her influence to secure her release. Their exchanges during prison visits revolve around individual and collective responsibility. For the author, Reste is a play of resistance in which sisterhood becomes an act of rebellion.
Claudia Munyengabe lives in Bujumbura. She is an actress, a member of the Shakespearean Theater Group and Les Enfoirés de SaNoLaDante, as well as a writer of short stories and plays. Reste is her most recent play, written in December 2025 in Lomé during a writing residency initiated by Festival La Fabrique de Fictions. She is also the author of Longue eau, #Habib257 (presented at Buja Sans Tabou), Les I sur Les autres, and Le roi est mort, vive la Reine, whose English version was published by the University of Michigan in the anthology Speaking Ourselves, New Plays by African Women.
