MAIF Social Club (Paris 3rd)
About
Three storytellers, Igo Drané, Edma, and Suzy Ronel, accompanied by musicians, take turns guiding you through a sensitive and vibrant tour of the exhibition Semons nos résistances (Sowing Our Resistance). To the rhythm of bouladjel, percussion, guitar, and bamboo flute, language becomes music and leads you on a cultural, festive, and interactive walk. Between French and Creole, stories blend with sounds to resonate the richness of cultures from the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean. Presented as part of the tenth edition of the Mois Kréyol Festival, this tour becomes a true sensory journey: colorful, lively, and deeply rooted in oral traditions. A unique experience where the exhibition is discovered differently—to be heard, felt, and shared.
