Alé di yo, nou la nou poko mo (go tell them that we are here, we are not dead yet) is a solo piece drawn from a narrative. Magdelaine Hodebourg develops in it her universe tinged with her research around science fiction and her reflections on technology, AI, politics… Expanding on the world depicted in Iter, her first solo, she continues to explore this encounter between a Guyanese woman and an extraterrestrial humanoid.

To do so, she relies on the structure of the traditional tale, retraces her choreographic influences, and calls upon Afrofuturism, not as a backdrop, but as a way of thinking and creating. A space where eras blur.
A place where technology and tradition intertwine, where the digital becomes organic, where fiction allows erased memories to be rewritten. She seeks to blur space-time, to make worlds converse. That of her ancestors and the one she imagines, the one she fears and the one she hopes for.

Alé di yo, nou la nou poko mo questions what remains after the end. How to find the way out, how to relearn how to dream, how to become human again.

Does the courtyard sleep? No, the courtyard does not sleep.”
