Boloye, a sacred dance practiced by the Sénoufo people of northern Côte d'Ivoire, is marked by respect and reserved for initiates. Only those who have undergone initiation are allowed to play musical instruments and don the panther costume that symbolizes this dance.The dancers' rhythmic, repetitive movements illustrate scenes from daily life, religious ceremonies, funeral rites and initiation ceremonies. Boloye is a testimony to the richness of Ivorian culture, and it is crucial to preserve and promote it.By combining creativity and respect for tradition, it is possible to make Boloye a source of inspiration for contemporary fashion.Beyond the information provided in this book, LE BOLOYE MUSE DE CREATION TEXTILE contributes to the preservation and transmission of knowledge to future generations.
