L'apport de mon projet était basé surtout sur le récit actif de la performance que j'ai réalisée en 2006 avec Steven Cohen, mais grâce aux dispositifs numériques mis en place devant le spectateur, cette présentation est devenue un récit en mouvement, réactivé devant les spectateurs. J'ai aussi découvert que l'espace urbain de Dakar permet de faire beaucoup de choses, d'intervenir en tant qu'artiste performeur. Cela m'a donné beaucoup de liberté de me trouver dans un autre pays d'Afrique francophone que le mien.
