A Bozo Rod Puppet Head, "sigi dankele" Bozo, Mali Ohne Sockel / without base Wood, mirror. H 47 cm. Provenance: - Galerie Carrefour, Pierre Vérité, Paris. - 1970s: Marcel Roux (1909-1993), Paris. - Heirs of Marcel Roux, French-speaking Switzerland. Marionette from the Sogo bò puppet theater. "Sogo bò" translates as "The animals come out". The most important characters include wild animals. However, themes from everyday life were also addressed, for example scenes from the world of hunting as well as scenes about the relationship between men and women. The puppet show serves to convey moral values and knowledge, which is why the players have an important social responsibility. However, as the performances were also primarily seen as entertainment, the actors still enjoyed a great deal of freedom of expression. This lively and engaging form of theater still enjoys great popularity today. The puppet shows performed by fishermen and farmers alike in front of an assembled and sometimes actively participating village community followed a precise dramaturgy. It consisted of up to twenty "acts", in each of which a character performed a self-contained parable. There were singing and dancing interludes between the individual performance sequences.

Montreuil-sous-Bois: Éditions Gourcuff Gradenigo. ----------------------------------------------------- Marcel Roux (1909 - 1993) Marcel Roux is known for his significant contributions to early 20th century architecture in France, particularly in the field of social housing and the modernization of urban structures. Roux studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later worked closely with renowned architects such as Le Corbusier. He was strongly influenced by modernism and the principles of functionalism, which is reflected in his clear, rational designs. His work encompassed both public and private projects, placing great emphasis on improving the quality of life through architectural solutions. His interest in form and design and the associated passion for art in general led to a remarkable collection of African figures and masks as well as numerous friendships with well-known collectors and art dealers such as Charles Ratton.

A Senufo zoomorphic mask Senufo, Burkina Faso Ohne Sockel / without base Wood, Raphia. H 136 cm. Provenance: - Marcel Roux (1909-1993), Paris. - Heirs of Marcel Roux, French-speaking Switzerland. The Senufo are an ethnic group of around 3 million people in the border triangle of Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Burkina-Faso. Predominantly living in villages, agriculture, formerly supplemented to a greater extent by hunting, forms the economic basis of the ethnic group. The distinctive mask system of the Senufo is closely linked to various male associations, in particular the Poro association, the central social institution of Senufo society. The hierarchically structured secret society is responsible for the education and initiation of boys and men. It also plays a decisive role in all spiritual and religious aspects of life and ultimately maintains the social order within the community. The Senufo mask system is characterized by a great variety of forms and types. Due to the incomplete oral traditions and the confidentiality of the initiates, the exact classification of atypical specimens, such as this one, is difficult. Further reading: Förster, Till (1988).
