Walangaan

Walangaan – water that flows in Wolof – tells the story of the water cycle in its own way. Water that waters, water that runs down the skin, water that splashes, water that cleans, water that sings, water that lulls, water that gushes. And the water that sometimes, more and more, runs out.

A Senegalese singer and a percussionist follow the course of water, revealing its sounds and playing with their voices and bodies, from the drop to the downpour, from the splash to the waterfall. Little by little, to the sound of the handpan, an enchanted world of fountains, basins, taps and pourers is created. A luminous universe that reflects the gentle sensation of the first baths and the intimate moment of bedtime.

A sung interlude that also expresses the preciousness of this element that has been renewed since the dawn of time.
