🔵 Water WordsComing to The Sid Fri Oct 30, 2026 | 7:00 PM
Presented by the Sid Williams Theatre Society
🔵 A BLUE CIRCLE SERIES EVENT
A Djarama and Motus co-production featuring the work of artists from three countries across two continents.
Two friends, Mamby and Hélène: one lives in Senegal and the other in Canada. They both have burning feet: one from hot sand, the other from winter boots. Water sets them apart: one lives where there is an abundance of water, snow, and ice, while the other must seek water, carrying it in buckets.
“MAMBY: I think that water transmits everything we say. Water understands all languages.”
The main character is water, a precious liquid that is scarce in many places. Before our eyes, Hélène and Mamby give life and language to water’s different forms: spring water, well water, salt water, rainwater…They voice the challenges, fears, frustrations, and worries accompanying the lack and abundance of water, taking us from the Sahel region in West Africa to America.
