FESTICO 2023: 25.02.-29.02.2023 For the very first time, the FESTICO did not take place in the Colsama district, in front of the large Lamezere stadium, but in the middle of the city – next to the Total station, not far from the small market. This meant that many people from the immediate neighborhood were able to take part. The area was full and the event received a lot of positive feedback from the people – finally a festival right next door that is accessible to the people who live there and can’t drive through the city to enjoy culture. Especially for children and young people it was a great highlight to see their music stars – Djeli Karim, Rama N’goni but also the circus group from a local circus association working with vulnerable young people performed and created a great atmosphere. The invited authorities also welcomed the new location of the FESTICOS, the chef coutumiére (traditional chief) of the neighborhood was particularly pleased about the enrichment and cultural performance in his neighborhood. The festival also included a panel discussion on the challenges and obligations of cultural actors in view of the security situation in Burkina Faso and a dance workshop for adults at the Siraba Center led by Serges Somé.
FESTICO 2022: unfortunately, the FESTICO could not take place due to the political situation after two successive empires and the security crisis.
