Chère Ijeawele

Dear Ijeawele, or A Manifesto for Feminist Parenting - Ludmilla Dabo, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie A Free Girl in Fifteen Chapters In 2017, Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie published a letter addressed to a friend who wonders how to raise her daughter in a feminist way, marking a turning point in thinking about an upbringing capable of sidestepping the traps of sexism.

When Ludmilla Dabo, a multi-disciplinary artist who regards the stage as a space of resistance, brings the text onto her own playing field, it is to better break down prejudice.

Accompanied by a guitar and a drum kit, the actress and singer speaks directly to the audience, drawing on these simple, funny and incisive words.

In the atmosphere of a vigil, she lets us savour the brilliance of the fifteen recommendations of Dear Ijeawele as so many emancipatory impulses of the utmost importance.
