PUBLICATION
Tell my love to your silence
The waters of the river have their own language, memory and will. In search of the solitudes where the voices of water whisper, I arrived on the banks of the Congo River in the footsteps of the dancers in Brazzaville and Kinshasa.
In my luggage, forty-nine poems.
These texts, written over the course of 20 years, from 2004 to 2024, lost, forgotten, found, have finally come together. They decided to be born on the banks of the river.
Memories of water, intimate memories. These poems from 20 years of life are letters of love, farewell, gratitude, silence, reconciliation or anger. Letters to myself, to my body and to women’s bodies.
Echoing the poems, the movement of black and white embodies their dance. All 49 calligraphies contain a sentence. Encrypted, these phrases are not legible. I pronounced them so that their intention would link the works and the poems. To celebrate, like the earth, the sky and the water of the river. The common breath that embraces our lives. Love in its uniqueness.

Text – movement – visual arts research: Alexia Traore and Myla Boueya
Dancer, choreographer, visual artist, author, storyteller and percussionist, Alexia Traore is a multidisciplinary artist. The different facets of his sensitivity give rise to shows, performances, exhibitions, installations and publications.
Improvisational dancer inspired by traditional repertoires from Africa (Egypt) and Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan), she weaves a minimalist and poetic language. Far from the
beaten track, his choreographies and staging celebrate the living essence of musical and dance traditions. A fusional link between dance and music permeates his creations.
Visual artist, Alexia Traore draws from the body, its history and its environment the materials and modes of expression of her research. Installations, photographs, videos, sculptures… Her visual works explore movement, intimate and collective memory, and the female experience.
His creative process, intimately linked to Sufi spirituality, evokes the mystical ceremonies of the whirling dervishes, and the gyratory movement of the universe. Solo or with many international artists, she creates unclassifiable performances, bridges between several cultures. His works have been the winners of several calls for projects and supported by various creation aid schemes: PROXIMITY CULTURAL ENDOWMENT (2011-2023) CMTRA (2017) CHANTIERS DE BABEL (2019) SPRINGBOARD YOUNG CONTEMPORARY TALENTS (STUDIO CLUB, 2020) , LE COMPTOIR D’ALINEA (2022), SPEDIDAM / AID FOR INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY (2023)
Poly-phonies, bodily and plastic poly-semias… Through the plurality that crosses it, art by Alexia Traore questions human identity in its construction, complexity and richness.
