| Description |
Every year, Dorcy Rugamba returns to his family’s home in Kigali, Rwanda. Ivy still climbs the walls, calla lilies grow on the terrace, the palm and papaya trees are still there. His return was, however, impossible for many years. Thirty years after the genocide in Rwanda, actor, author and director Dorcy Rugamba brings to life his work Hewa Rwanda – Letter to the absent, a profoundly moving tale of his family, culture and spirituality. In tandem with Senegalese multi-instrumentalist and singer Majnun, Rugamba presents a musical reading from this memoir. |
