This work explores the concept of "griotique," a neologism relating to Ivorian artistic expression, through the reflections of Aboubacar Cyprien Touré. It outlines the historical context of griotique's emergence, its cultural significance, and how it has evolved since its inception in the 1970s. Touré revisits the foundational theories of griotique, emphasizing its role in contemporary African theater and the distinctive characteristics that define its artistic nature.
