“**Fatshimetrie**: When the play “Solitude du bravache” questions our relationship to life and death”
Theatre is the mirror of the human soul, a window open to our deepest questions. Through the play “Solitude du bravache”, recently presented in N’djili, in the East of Kinshasa, the Congolese public was invited to an introspective reflection on life, death and the traces we leave behind us.
The artist Béni Kitambala brilliantly embodies the central character of this play, offering a poignant performance that goes far beyond simple entertainment. Under the direction of the talented playwright Samuel Akpéné Wilsi, this theatrical work aims to be an exploration of humanity in all its complexity.
Through a sober but effective stage device, “Solitude du bravache” immerses us in a dialogue between the present and the beyond, between man and his destiny. Existential questions arise naturally, inviting the spectator to question the meaning of his own existence and the choices he makes on a daily basis.
For Samuel Akpéné Wilsi, the play is an invitation to reflect on our actions and their consequences, on the way we interact with our fellow men and on our relationship to mortality. It is an ode to life, a meditation on the passing of time and on the way we influence the world around us.
During this first performance, the playwright Alexandre Mwambayi Kalengayi praised the philosophical depth of “Solitude du bravache”, describing it as a summary of humanity’s questions. To be or not to be, such is the central question that resonates through the words and gestures of the actors.
By embodying this complex character, Beni Kitambala offers us a masterful performance, oscillating between comic lightness and tragic depth. Her rich and varied artistic journey is a testament to her commitment to Congolese theatre and her ability to bring to life worlds as rich as they are diverse.
Ultimately, “Solitude du bravache” is much more than just a play: it is an inner journey, an exploration of the meanders of the human soul. Through her words and silences, her laughter and tears, she reminds us of the importance of reflecting on our existence and the choices we make. A theatrical experience that is both disturbing and enriching, not to be missed.”
This new angle of information processing adds a more introspective and universal dimension to the play “Solitude du bravache”, offering the reader a deep reflection on the themes addressed.
