Treichville

Treichville is a district located in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. It is notable as the location of the Palais de la Culture, a venue that recently hosted the 14th edition of the MASA (Marché des Arts du Spectacle Africain d'Abidjan) festival. This festival, which opened on April 11th, featured a week of free dance, music, storytelling, and theater performances, along with professional development workshops for artists. While Treichville itself isn't the direct focus of the second article, the broader political context of Côte d'Ivoire is relevant. The PDCI (Parti Démocratique de Côte d'Ivoire), founded by Félix Houphouët Boigny, celebrated its 80th anniversary, highlighting the political landscape in which Treichville exists. The MASA festival's presence in Treichville underscores the district's significance as a cultural hub within Abidjan and the broader African arts scene.
