Captivating Rwandan story in 3D sound

113-year-old Kanyoni Ladislas, grandfather of Season’s Composer Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman, is a legend. During his long life as a hunter and a traditional doctor, he saw colonisation, the independence struggle, genocides and post-war conflicts transform Rwanda into the fragile country it is today. This inspired Lierman to create Umva! In this work she further breaks down the boundaries between radio art and storytelling. Via headphones she immerses you in a hybrid sound world with instrumental and vocal music, sound effects, Afrique concrète and abstract electronics.
