France, Benin, Algeria, Ethiopia: Histoire(s) Décoloniale(s) unfolds, in four episodes, a history that is invisible in school curricula. This journey through time and space is told by Emma, Folly, Dalila and Mulunesh, who engage their voices, their bodies and their singular narratives. By affirming the political dimension of the stage, Betty Tchomanga questions the transmission of our History.
