Among the artists invited to the Faraway festival in Reims, which honors the living scenes of West Africa, a young Malian director and author. Jeanne Diama, 27, had already stood out at the Festival des Francophonies in Limoges last September with a feminine piece in acerbic, joyful language, The power of the loincloth.
