Founder & Vision

A life dedicated to socially engaged theatre.

Founder of the Atelier Théâtre Burkinabè, Prof. Prosper Kompaoré placed theatre at the heart of social dialogue, knowledge transmission and community participation.

“ATB was born from a dream: a theatre that does more than entertain — a theatre that gives people a voice and helps heal social divides.”

This vision continues to inspire the generations of artists, trainers and collaborators who bring the institution to life.
