The story

Festival Ivoirien du Conte in Abidjan

Festival Ivoirien du Conte refers to Abidjan's storytelling festival culture, and most likely overlaps with the Festival International Parole de Conteur, a gathering held in the Abobo Avocatier neighborhood that brings West African oral storytellers together to keep the tradition of the conteur alive for local and visiting audiences.

Because no separately confirmed festival trades under the exact name Festival Ivoirien du Conte, it is best understood through the storytelling tradition it likely echoes: Abidjan's Festival International Parole de Conteur.

The place changes

Its clearest real-world anchor, the Festival International Parole de Conteur, was founded by promoter Amoin Koffi with the goal of uniting storytellers from across Africa

02

The mystery stays covered

Its ninth edition, held November 8-11 in Abobo Avocatier, drew tellers from Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso and France alongside Ivorian hosts, turning an evening of oral narration into a regional exchange of folktales, proverbs and performance styles passed down through generations of West African griots and conteurs
