C.A.T.C.H

In CATCH (Coalition Against Type Casting Horror), Aminata Demba and Aïcha Cissé enter the ring for the fight of their lives. In this space, which is theirs for a few moments, they attempt to free themselves, as Black actresses and women, from the many constraints imposed on them.

​

In a production by Frédérique Lecomte, with whom they previously worked on Dis-moi wie ik ben, the show with which they achieved their breakthrough, they now tackle characters and scenes from the history of theater and popular culture. With a light touch, they turn themes such as repertoire, representation, and role models on their head.

​

Demba and Cissé are showing off and joining forces to break away from the dominant mechanisms and ways of thinking, both within and outside of the performing arts.
