From On the Wave, sur la Lame to Kénédjé around twenty pieces have been created.
The multiple projects in varied forms in which Fatou Traoré is involved, express the incessant desire to experiment with life, to create links and meaning, with dance and music as the main vehicles.
Alternating intimate and spectacular pieces, his choreographic journey has also encountered that of Contemporary Circus Arts.
Since 2012, with choir director Dounia Depoorter, she has co-directed Patshiva Cie, a choir of 30 women who sing and dance (“Where the Chaos of Angels Reigns” 2012-2016).
She has been giving dance workshops for 30 years in Schools, Academies and Dance Centers in Europe.
