En Afrique de l’Ouest, un baobab gigantesque s’élève au centre d’un village aux prises avec une terrible sécheresse. Il y a très longtemps, au commencement du monde, il était tombé amoureux de la terre. En y enfouissant profondément ses racines, il donna naissance à une histoire magique qui prit toutefois une tournure dramatique pour la nature, les hommes et les animaux. Au cœur de cette histoire apparaît Amondo, fils du baobab, dit « le rassembleur ». Lui seul peut redonner espoir aux habitants du village en libérant la source d’eau du mauvais sort que lui avait jeté le soleil. Mais la quête de l’enfant ne pourra être complétée qu’en réussissant quatre difficiles épreuves. L’enregistrement de cette pièce de théâtre, qui comprend sept chansons, nous plonge dans le merveilleux monde des récits originels africains, à une époque où la lune, les arbres et les animaux parlaient aux hommes. 

Hélène Ducharme is a playwright, director, actress, and puppeteer, and has been Artistic Director of her company, Théâtre Motus, for 25 years. She also served on the selection committee of the International Performing Arts for Youth (IPAY) from 2012 to 2016 and the organization's board of directors from 2014 to 2016.
