Show and debate on maroonage and the sea
March 23 at 18:00 p.m. - Moufia Campus The University Art and Culture Service (SUAC) invites you to the show "Tchekhow Déboussolé" on March 17 from 19:00 p.m. - in a bioclimatic amphitheatre - Moufia campus
The men here turn their backs on the sea, a tumultuous and dangerous ocean, sharks, slave ships, difficult fishing, etc. Tales and legends about the sea are rare and tragic. What is less known is that the sea also represented a hope of freedom for the slaves, for the maroons whose dreams were populated by canoes, plans, plots, expectations of the swelling of the ravines...The dream of returning to his native country. Slavery is not a scourge that belongs to the past but it accompanies our history by metamorphosing. We can establish an analogy between the wars of slave capture and current methods of managing migratory movements.
Despite the violence, the humiliation and the terror, men yesterday as today resisted, revolted, they continued and continue to dream and attempt at the risk of their lives the crossings towards freedom.
