Katanga: The Dance oft he Scorpions

KataIn the imaginary kingdom of Ganzurgu, King Pazouknaam narrowly foils a plot to overthrow him. To consolidate his power, he appoints his cousin Katanga as head of the army. Faced with the magnitude of his mission, Katanga consults a fortune teller. The prophecy is unequivocal: one day, he will ascend to his cousin's throne. With KATANGA, LA DANSE DES SCORPIONS, director Dani Kouyaté offers a dreamlike reinterpretation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, adapting the classic Western drama into a universal political tale set on the African continent. The film won the Yennenga Golden Stallion at FESPACO 2025.
