Lettre à ma fille

Overview

Spreading across the beach and streets of Benin. A moving letter from a mother to her future daughter expresses the challenges and joys of growing up as a woman. Through song and dance, a tribe of women dispels fairy tale myths to focus on the embodied values of female power: strength, independence, and self-esteem. Their rebellious spirits find freedom and joy through the rhythm of their bodies: they clap, shake their shoulders, sway their hips, and stomp their feet, giving way to their bold dreams of femininity.
