In a residential neighborhood in Mali's capital, a parade of giant marionettes marched through the streets as motorcyles and taxis squeezed through the busy road, stopping at intervals to give way for the puppets.
Rendez-Vous Chez Nous, which translates to “come to us” or “meet at our place” in French, was a three-day festival organized by the Nama marionette and dance group. The ninth annual edition of the event held in Bamako Nov. 6-8 featured dance performances, concerts and plays.
