La Ravanne de Daniella: a feminist musical tale outdoors in Marseille

From July 6 to August 28, 2026, at 6:30 PM, the Collectif Transbordeur invites you to discover La Ravanne de Daniella, a theatrical adaptation of the children's book by Amarnath Hosany. 🎭

Daniella, 11 years old, lives in Mauritius, the land of séga music. She dreams of freedom, of going out like the boys, and of playing percussion. But her father, authoritarian and alcoholic, keeps telling her that "it's not for girls." So, driven by her passion, she decides to sneak out to attend the concert of the great séga player Michel Legris. He passes on to her the practice of the ravanne, that iconic drum of séga. An incredible destiny awaits her... 🌟

A modern-day Cinderella who emancipates herself through music and determination. This show sensitively addresses issues of gender equality and the freedom to be oneself. With Jagdish Kinnoo, Nanou Payet, Laurent Sarthou, and Sarah Champion-Schreiber, under the musical direction of Jagdish Kinnoo. 🥁

Before each performance, enjoy the Prologues 2026 as a curtain-raiser: "Gyptis, after the wedding..." proposed by Barbara Chaulet, Laura Diaz, and Gaspard Juan. A carte blanche to young actors from the École Régionale d'Acteurs de Cannes et Marseille. 🎉

These 30 free performances are offered as part of Avant le soir, an event by the town hall of the 1/7 in Marseille, led by Didascalies and co. Open to all, limited to 120 people. Remember to bring something to sit on: cushions, towels, folding chairs, or chairs will do. 🪑

Come directly to the venue on the day of the show a little before 6:30 PM. Reserved seats not claimed 5 minutes before the start will be released. For more info, visit www.avantlesoir.fr. We look forward to seeing you in large numbers to celebrate music and freedom! 🎶
