		Through Abila, choreographer Opiyo Okach, in the vein of an African griot who renews the course of history each time, improvises and recreates the world of the nomadic people of Eastern Africa.
		Abila is as much a universally-oriented meeting as a re-appropriation in the urban world of the material commonly used by most of the peoples of Eastern Africa that has a meaning in offering rites, rites of passage, initiation rites, etc.
		One would willingly acknowledge that Opiyo has the talent to take space in his hand, to rock it… his elbows, shoulders disappear when he creates a world without apparent violence (J.L.Perrier.).
