He recently staged his first opera\, Le Vol du Boli that is currently being staged in Paris at the Théâtre de la Ville\, and is in post-production on a new film entitled La Colline Parfumée [The Perfumed Hill]. For our discussion\, we will show excerpts from Sissako’s work and ask a few opening questions with an open format in a bi-lingual French and English discussion.
