The Grands Prix Afrique du Théâtre Francophone are annual distinctions awarded in Benin by the CBEOA (Coopération Béninoise pour l’Échange et l’Ouverture Artistique). These awards recognize the finest productions and talents in African Francophone theater across all disciplines, aiming to promote excellence, quality, and the cultural development of this art form in Africa. The events feature competitions, cultural exchanges, and a gala ceremony, with editions hosted in various African capitals.
Nicole Cage’s recognition at this event highlights her significant contribution to the Francophone theatrical and literary community, and her ongoing efforts to connect African and Diaspora cultures through art and literature.
