Sinopse
It's been 28 years since I moved away from my native land. First, London, then Paris and today Marseille. 28 years that I haven't forgotten umuko, that tree that illuminates my childhood. That bright red tree, earth red, which links me to what begins, to what is lost and found again, when I return, to what continues...
Invoking the umuko, the healing tree, the ancestral tree, the guardian of stories, Munyaneza invites five young artists, poets, dancers, musicians, from the Rwandese scene who are weaving the legacy of the past with the creativity and the audacity of the future, so stubborn in the precariousness of daily life. In umuko, the past and the future in Kinyarwanda, meet and tell stories through body, poetry, music, and song. — Dorothée Munyaneza / Cie Kadidi
