the tambedou family

Born in Catalonia from the collaboration between Roseland and the Senegalese company Kay Feech, based in Barcelona and led by dancer and choreographer Anna Mbengue, this project brings to life a family of giant puppets.

Representing an African family, these figures move and dance to the rhythms of African and Afro-descendant percussionists, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.

Blending tradition, music and movement, the performance celebrates cultural diversity and collective energy in a powerful and engaging visual experience.
