Lion's Coat, Giraffe's Tail tells the story of Kumbà and Mamadou, who live in a small jungle town in Senegal. About to be parents, they are so excited that they will do anything to please their babies, such as chasing a lion or the queen of giraffes. The story is an allegory of the birthdays and the names of the mandinga ethnic group. All the ingredients that compose it (party, dance, joy, birth, hunting) are reflected in this show, which combines the fantastic background of the story and the reality of the ethnic group in its traditional habitat. It is a fun and ingenious show, full of rhythm.
