"Ymako Teatri", a theater company based in Ivory Coast, uses street theater to question some contemporary West-African problems. Their originality consists in using the "invisible theater" method in order to surprise the public and thus to make it react immediately to its own problems.
This documentary shows how a theater company efficiently strives in today's African reality.
This film presents two performances : one criticise the current proliferation of religious sectes, the other deals with the awakening of villagers towards AIDS. "Ymako", in bambara : our concerns.
