Comedy and maloya:
A play of Tigra Winston in live followed by Lo Griyo beneath the trees (Le Port)

Tigra Winston Live is an exaggerated play on femininity and fame that will be held beneath the trees. Léonie is a jack of all trades, or almost worked in a theatre. She remains in the shadow and probably dreams of an ascension that will transform her into a legendary character. On this evening’s programme: being a glamorous singer like the type of “Marilyn,” “Tigra Winston” takes a long time to come on stage. Her pianist is waiting for her, the luminous circle of pursuit is looking for her. But, finds miss Léonie instead. The style of the play is gestural and burlesque at the same time. Altered objects, improbable performances and parodies describe the clown. She struggles in the heart of a musical nightmare. She will be followed by the maloya singer, son of Daniel Waro, Sami Waro and his band Lo Griyo.
