Mahé, Seychelles. A moment of Moutya, at night, near the magnificent Creole architectural ensemble of the Domaine du Val des Prés. Between singing and dancing, the artists express what this art of the people, by the people, and for the people, represents for them: an essential element of the Creole identity. Symbolic and sacred expression of African slaves, prohibited during the colonial era, Moutya was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2021. It is mostly practiced at night, around a fire. a film by / Un film de Didier Mauro (Didier DESIDERIO MAURO) SEYCHELLES, 2024, Short Documentary, 25 min - in Creole with French Subs Distributeur : Seychelles National Institute of Culture Heritage and the Arts. * PREMIERE MONDIALE | Vues d'Afrique 2024 Fontes / Our Source / Quelle / Nos Sources (MAIS INFORMAÇÕES / READ MORE / PLUS D'INFOS) : - Africiné Magazine - Festival Vues d'Afrique 2024 (https://vuesdafrique.org/programmation/) Updated by Thierno DIA, 16 April 2024
