CABOSSE
Cabosse
Dance and music performance
Cabosse is a short choreographic and musical piece aimed at young audiences. Through cocoa, an emblematic plant and living memory of the Caribbean territories, this piece questions our common connection to the environment, the body, and the earth.
Cabosse offers a playful script that transforms our view of agricultural and artisanal practices, incorporating acoustic and electronic music to recount the shared roots of Martinique, Guadeloupe, and the Caribbean as a whole. Designed as a sensory and poetic experience, the piece invites children to reconnect with the resources of the land, rediscover the richness of local agriculture, and experience the environment through dance and live music.
