The group
The dance troupe, Dogoniws (little sisters) was created in 2019, following workshops with choreographer Manu Sissoko. It is made up of seven female dancers, all passionate about popular traditions and particularly Malian dance repertoire. The troupe travels between France and Mali, organising residencies in Bamako and Toulouse, where they are based. The dancers meet regularly for workshops and rehearsals in the Mazades cultural centre in Toulouse. They also participate in traditional celebrations both in France and Mali.
The project
Dogoniws is driven by the desire to share Malian cultural and dance heritage. A heritage that has been threatened and undermined by the successive crises Mali has undergone over the last decade. Working with the Ballet du district de Bamako is a way for the troupe to help pass on and preserve its cultural and choreographic memory.
The troupe has chosen to perform several works by the Ballet du district de Bamako: NumuDon (1980), the blacksmith’s dance, is one of the Ballet’s oldest works, made up exclusively of popular dances from the Bamanan region. An initiative by Ali Carambe, Musée (2006) was designed to present the diversity of Malian dance, with dances not only from different regions, but also different peoples and social groups. Maraka (1982) and Sidi Yassa (1993) were inspired by Soninke dances. Djon Don (1993) presents the repertoire of dances from the caste of “Djons” (slaves), recreating the atmosphere of popular celebrations and dance circles.
Sidibé, Lamine
Bachili, Amadou
Diallo, Ba Issa
Choreographer and dancer Ba Issa Diallo heads up the long-standing Ballet du district de Bamako. Founded over four decades ago, the Ballet is one of Mali’s three leading companies. Its repertoire of around thirty pieces, combining dance, song, theatre and music, is not solely based on conserving but also developing Malian cultural traditions. Its performers include both dancers and musicians, who come together to present a powerful combination of live percussion and movement. Well known artists, including Oumou Sangaré and Séga Sidibé have performed with the Ballet du district de Bamako. Makan Koné is its artistic director and the originator of most of the company’s works.
Auger, Ludovic
Simon, Nicolas
Having picked up a passion for the audiovisual at an early age from his two brothers, Nicolas Simon quickly developed a love of cinema and began making short films in his teenage years. He studied at the audiovisual ESRA school in Rennes, where he made two 16mm short films. In 2004, he met Emmanuelle Vo-Din, who introduced him to the world of contemporary dance.
In 2008 he completed Making Rainbow, a documentary retracing the five months over which the first edition of the performance Rainbow was created. He then co-directed Le Grand Éléphant - L’Aventure des Constructeurs, filmed over two years in the workshop of La Machine as they designed and built the Grand Elephant of Île de Nantes: a giant, animatronic elephant. Alongside regular collaborations with several choreographers, including, Alban Richard, Margot Dorléans, Sylvain Riéjou, Daniel Dobbels as well as the companies Le Pôle and PJPP, Nicolas Simon has made several documentaries, including Les Constructeurs d’Éole and Je me souviens.

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois
