The suggested body of work will be that of Francophone women's writing, which, while not defining itself as fantasy, expands the boundaries of binary oppositions - visible/invisible; daytime/nocturnal; living/dead - and challenges our perceptual modalities. Starting with the universe of the author Ken Bugul, we noticed how rare female writing was within this body of work. It therefore seemed important to us to focus the project on these women and to explore this dimension of the female gaze, particularly as an escape from domination.

With the festival L'Univers des mots directed by Hakim Bah in Conakry and recent university research, we share the observation of a sort of blind zone with regard to these women's dramatic writings, so the researcher Amélie Thérésine will join us to build a repertoire of Afro-diasporic women authors and open up the field of this contemporary creation.

Two texts by French-speaking authors (Gaëlle Bien-aimé and Dodji do Rego) will be set to music by four composers and performed by the same group of actors, both students of the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique and experienced actors. The composers will be supported by Nuria Gimenez Comas, composer, and the actors by Anne Monfort, director, and Laure Bachelier-Mazon, a playwright and a computer music director from Ircam.

The work will be presented at the T2G as part of Ircam's ManiFeste/In Vivo Théâtre Academy and will be carried out in partnership with the company day-for-night, the Theatre-Studio in Vitry and the Univers des mots festival in Conakry.
