An attempt at symbolic reparation to the dead, for use by the living Adaptation and transposition into text, images and music of the play "Rwanda 94" created by the GROUPOV Theatre Group, Belgium. Artistic direction and adaptation of the play for the book: Jacques DELCUVELLERIE Compositions : Garrett LIST, with additional compositions by Jean-Marie MUYANGO Performers: Chamber music ensemble (8 musicians); Rwandan percussion ensemble (3 musicians); European and Rwandan singers (4); European and Rwandan actors (11). Presentation: Text and images in 275-page hard-back, full-colour book, containing 2 CDs of the music This book, and double CD, is a unique artistic testimony to the genocide of the Tutsi and the massacre of the Hutu opposition, in Rwanda in 1994. It is based on the play "Rwanda 94" by the Belgian theatre company GROUPOV, the fruit of a four-year collaboration between western and Rwandan artists. The 6-hour play has been adapted and transposed into two CDs of music and song, and a 275-page hardback book (bi-lingual French and English) of text and images. The essence of the play has been faithfully kept, and the spoken and sung texts are interspersed with descriptive passages to guide the reader and listener through the action. The book and music will appeal to all those who are interested in the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. It is a unique testimony, the only artistic attempt to explore and understand the events of that time, and to look at the historical and political context, the media treatment, and the human dimensions of the genocide - using text, images, acting, video, music and song.It will be of equal interest to readers and listeners. Descriptive, moving, informative, poignant, beautiful, at times humorous - Rwanda 94 works on all levels of artistic expression, information, and emotion. The potential public for the book is vast. It will go beyond the traditional music- and book-buying public to reach all persons who are interested in finding out about the events in Rwanda and the background to them, i.e. a public concerned by humanitarian issues and international politics. The play itself, which won Belgium's two top theatre prizes for best play in 2000, is touring internationally (France, Switzerland, Canada, Belgium), and attracts critical success and reviews wherever it goes, thereby helping to create promotion and interest for the book and Cds.
