Popo is an Abouré word meaning "mask". It is celebrated every year in Bonoua over two weeks, starting on Easter Monday. Torchlight parades, traditional beauty contests, street theater and dancing precede the event, which is accompanied by a gastronomic, commercial and, above all, cultural integration village during the two weeks of festivities. Saturday: a parade of masked men, women and children (giant puppets, floats, folk dances, brass bands, etc.), punctuated by dances and burlesque scenes. Sunday: ancestral worship, family and generational reunions. It has become famous for its colorful parade, eccentric transvestites and grand popular ball after the cremation of King Popo (a large papier-mâché monster).

Le Popo hier et le Popo aujourd'hui : se réinventer pour poursuivre la route.

Le Popo carnaval est un festival renommé en Côte d'Ivoire. Très marqué par l'activité de parades de masques et marionnettes, les danses, la gastronomie, il n'offre cependant pas une place de choix au patrimoine matériel, le gage d'une pérenité assurée à l'instar de vestige pour demain. Et pourtant que serait le Popo carnaval sans la création plastique qui lui offre couleurs, tendances, visuels et matérialisation? Dans un monde en mutation constante, où l'image et le numérique s'adjugent le crédit du vrai, du concrèt. Repenser le Popo carnaval à l'aune des arts visuels et d'une numérisation accrue de ses faits d'art s'affirment comme le défi nouveau qui viendrait redynamiser une pratique qui commence à souffrir d'une monotonie qui n'invite pas au retour qui revivifie un rendez-vous programmé si honorable.
