Hafa
Synopsis
During a research stay in Tangier, I worked around the story of Omar Ba, a Senegalese migrant in transit. From this experience emerged an exchange of films and objects. A child’s sandal, a piece of fabric, a jerrycan, a prayer notebook became the obsessive focus of another quest, a new mythology. This raises the question of how to preserve the memory of these migratory narratives. Here, staged in a cinematic essay with the dancer Barbara Sarreau, this question is explored through the lens of tragedya tragedy from which we will surely have to learn to be reborn one day...
