fulu [fulu]: in Swahili, “wild spirit”
FÜLÜ sometimes takes on animal appearances to tell, through music, voice and bodies, the stories of the wild spirit.
“At first, there was nothing.”
And FÜLÜ suddenly finds herself in the middle of a crowd. She recognizes faces, pulls on threads and abandons herself to a lush universe made of mirrors and masks. Through her music, she invites us to a ritual where faces and totems merge. A parade filled with sweat, fights, silence and noise; a multitude of sounds and musical influences that she crosses, a tightrope walker torn between two worlds, one real, the other imaged. A duality that we find in the title MBWA MWITU .chien-loup which pushes us to accept each fragment of ourselves and to realize that two halves are (perhaps) always more than one. Or with
MCHANGA .sable which symbolizes this daily struggle of those who live in a society that is designed neither to their measure nor in their image.
