ISIS ou la tragédie des corps dispersés
The CTDC's mission is to promote and defend cultural diversity through an organisational ecosystem of national operators and stakeholders in the arts and culture. Within the framework of this mission, the ISIS project resembles an international research laboratory on a new form of theatre that will later be called "Théâtre du souffle".
The objective of ISIS is to gather anthropological material linked to traditions and cults of possession and then to submit it to a scriptwriting process (in the form of tales, puppets, masks, etc.) in order to create an aesthetic of breath that animates the bodies and voices of the actors and pushes them into all the twists and turns of their performance. This research will result in a contemporary theatre show, on the route to a future theatrical aesthetic capable of inspiring the rest of the world.

Faim de contes
The creation of the NGO Groupe Efrouba pour la Culture (GREC) in Grand-Lahou (south-western Côte d'Ivoire) was motivated by a group of writers' desire to decentralise the book promotion sector, 95% of whose activities take place in Abidjan. GREC is now multiplying its literary activities in Côte d'Ivoire and on the African continent, and extending its field of intervention to education, tourism, gastronomy, etc.
The main objective of "Faim de contes" is to enhance the oral traditions of Côte d'Ivoire through the promotion and professionalisation of native traditional storytellers. This new project is an opportunity for GREC to acquire human, technical and financial resources to bring together 12 Ivorian storytellers from different regions, to transcribe their stories into works that will be offered to publishers worldwide.
