Les Tréteaux du Niger was one of the five theater companies from Niger that regularly perform. The others were the troops of Yazi Dogo in Center Culturel Oumarou Ganda , the theater companies of the state broadcasting corporation locationN in Niamey and Zinder , the Messager du Sahel , led by Azonhon Faton and the political satire specialized Troupe Mourna at the Abdou-Moumouni University Niamey .
Wagé wrote and directed Kishin Malam Barbouillé (1994, based on Die Jeaersucht des Schmierte ), Alpha Kambé Kano (1995, based on The Flying Doctor ) and Al Hadj Dandin (1995, based on George Dandin ) , each based on Molière pieces . Further adaptations were Garabassa (1996, based on Cent millions qui tombent by Georges Feydeau ) and Kasko (1998, based on Le Cid by Pierre Corneille ). In 2000 he directed the world premiere of La Geste de Zalbarou , the first version of the tragic farce Les conquêtes du roi Zalbarou by Alfred Dogbé in Niamey .
