Théâtre : Opération Rumba

Dieudonné Niangouna

Two brothers from the Congo, living in Europe, embark on an epic musical journey in search of their origins, lined with rhythms and stories that are both sparkling and piquant. They encounter a saga of whimsical and zany characters, between fiction and reality, myths and slices of history, anecdotes from popular songs and political pain. It's an emotionally rich palette that finally, and against all odds, allows these two brothers to immerse themselves in the great history of rumba.
A vibrant tribute to the richness of human diversity and the power of art as a means of connection and understanding.
