Gurumbé : Mémoires Afro-Andalousiennes

Territoires cinématographiques is a space for dialogue between the performing arts and cinema, created in collaboration with Avignon's Utopia cinemas. It's a daily gathering of film screenings, at the end of which the public meets and exchanges with theater artists, choreographers, filmmakers, activists, critics and journalists invited to the Festival d'Avignon. It's a space designed to explore the intimate relationships these guests maintain between disciplines and with the world. It's a place where we can take a closer look, both large and small, at the themes brought to the stage, the territories of the guest language, and under the plane trees of the Café des idées.

Researchers have often highlighted the contribution of African slaves to flamenco. Gurumbé brings out of oblivion the story of those who remained in the Iberian Peninsula and did not leave for the colonies, and highlights the role they played in Spanish culture.

Screening followed by a discussion with Miguel Ángel Rosales and Yinka Esi Graves.
Moderated by Hugues Le Tanneur, journalist from Transfuge magazine.
