But why call on Les Petits Français to inaugurate a bus route? Because every project we take on we approach as a challenge, and every project has cultural, accessible and spectacular dimensions.
We envisioned Dakar’s BRT as the backbone of this vibrant and joyful city and, from there, built an innovative visual, musical and poetic narrative – a timeless tale embodied by a semi-transparent set that undergoes a metamorphosis, a place where destinies and generations meet to share this public asset that reconnects inhabitants and communities.
In the spirit of imparting values, and thanks to cutting-edge technology, candid dialogue and choreography, the ceremony gave the Senegalese people a peek into the future of their country as it undergoes a major transformation.
