Mame Boye invites us into her shop.
With humor, mischief, and a few puppets and homemade objects, the old woman gives her own unique advice on dental hygiene.
Cavities had better watch out !
Keur Mame Boye is a puppet theater show created by TOF Théâtre with young Senegalese artists from the Yaak’art project / DJARAMA company in Toubab Dialaw, supported by CITF and WBI. It is part of a broader vision to establish theater for young audiences in Senegal.
The show is intended to be performed in non-dedicated venues, in a public square, in the middle of a market, in a schoolyard… or indoors.
The show is almost technically self-sufficient, but indoor lighting (full stage lighting) is required.
