Hazelle Goodman, Zainab Jah, Willie Teacher, and Adenike Thomas will star in the North American premiere of Bintou by Koffi Kwahulé, translated by Chantal Bilodeau. The Movement Theatre Company will present the production at Harlem School Of Arts, June 25- July 10. David Mendizábal will direct.
The play is about an African immigrant girl living in an urban ghetto. At the age of
13, she leads a wild gang of boys, plays with knives, and has bewitching
dreams of becoming a belly dancer. Her budding display of overt sexuality
and aggressive behavior drives Bintou’s family to devise a plan to tame her.
