"Framed by the soundscape of Senegalese hip hop music and live sabar drumming, "Le President" investigates one's struggle with power and eventual transformation into perpetuator/victim of corruption and violence. Baker-Tarpaga's piece problematizes the fixing of bodies due to race and nationality while implicating her own body in this power play"
