  • The column reflects on moments when an audience’s reaction becomes part of the meaning of a performance.
  • It uses Angélique Kidjo’s first appearance at the Carthage amphitheatre as an example.
  • The piece raises a question about the relationship between artistic expression and public taste.

There are evenings when a stage tells far more than the show taking place on it. The stands alone can become a commentary, almost a voice of their own, and there is no shortage of examples.

Angélique Kidjo’s performance at the Carthage amphitheatre was one of them. Her first appearance there had been a beautiful promise, but the evening also prompted a broader question: where does art end and the public’s taste begin?
