HANN: VOICES OF A BAY. Dakar (Senegal)

Manifesto Poetico in production with Theatre Forum Company Kàddu Yaraax, Dakar (Senegal)

“The Bay of Hann sits just north of the industrial area of the Port of Dakar. Once a small fishing village, Hann beach became a local spot of beauty near the centre of Dakar. By the beginning of the 21st century 71 factories discharging industrial effluent along the Hann shore gave the area the nickname “Trash Bay.”
