00:00Welcome to Medihan TV and to this cultural chronicle about the author, actor and director

00:18Dorsi Rougamba, who is here in Marrakech at the Festival du Livre Africain de Marrakech.

00:25Dorsi Rougamba, thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

00:34You are here in Marrakech at the Festival du Livre Africain de Marrakech.

00:38First of all, a word about your presence in Morocco and this festival.

00:42It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure to come back to Morocco.

00:45It's not the first time, but it's the first time at this festival.

00:49I am very happy that they support me every year.

00:52It's a great pleasure, an honor.

00:54Dorsi Rougamba, you are an author, actor and director.

01:00You are Rwandan.

01:02You wrote a book about the genocide of Rwanda.

01:12Writing, playing, being a director, so much discipline to recreate yourself.

01:20Yes, but I started theater long before the genocide.

01:26Except that after the genocide, it became a necessary ritual for me.

01:35I'm not talking about therapy, because I don't really like to mix art and therapy.

01:40There are treatments.

01:42On the other hand, it's a relationship to the world, writing.

01:48In any case, it's mine.

01:50I really like to be on stage.

01:52I really like to create shows.

01:54And writing, it's been going on for 30 years.

01:58So I hope it will continue.

02:00So 30 years in the world of art, 30 years as an African, as I said.

02:07This Africa that is being recreated.

02:10Do you think we still have trouble today, that this 21st century,

02:13we haven't thought about all our pleas, all our pains,

02:19and that Africa continues to rebuild and recreate itself?

02:24Because I like this expression.

02:26Yes, but at the same time, African literature is very diversified today.

02:33There are many subjects.

02:35I think it's a continent that is also crossed by a lot of drama,

02:40and in a certain way, writers belong to their time.

02:44Sometimes we write about tragedies, but they don't belong to history yet.

02:50They are the news in which we live.

02:55And we have to belong to our time.

03:00All we can hope for is that our works, which are archives,

03:05will allow the next generation to rethink themselves

03:11and perhaps to learn from them,

03:13to allow Africa to be on a different rhythm,

03:16on a different current,

03:19and simply to overcome these latent conflicts.

03:24Dorsi Rangoma, I was telling you,

03:27today, this African literature, which is amazing, which wins prizes,

03:34why does it still have a hard time being distributed, even on our continent?

03:39This is a big problem, it's true.

03:42We have a lot of extremely talented writers,

03:45but an industry of books that is not yet up to its own talents,

03:49the talents that exist on this continent.

03:51And this is an entire ecosystem that we lack,

03:54because we need publishing houses, we need distribution circuits,

03:58we need libraries, we really need...

04:01So, this is one of the big problems,

04:05which means that we find much more African literature in Western metropolises,

04:11much more than we find on our continent,

04:15which means that very often we have the impression that African writers are out of place too,

04:20because of this.

04:22And this is something that absolutely needs to be remedied.

04:26Our populations need to have access to books, to African literature.

04:33This is also a way to integrate African populations,

04:36because from the moment people share the same memory,

04:40share the same story, the same continental novel,

04:44they become one people.

04:47And this is a fundamental issue.

04:49So, Dorsi Rogomba, today you are in Marrakech to talk about you,

04:53to talk about your book, your literature, your word, M-A-U-X, with words.

05:00What do you want to say to the Moroccan public?

05:04A lot, to share, but a lot of beauty too, because it is poetry too.

05:16Literature would not exist if there were no readers.

05:20So, I also come to the meeting of this audience,

05:23so that we can get to know each other.

05:25And this seems very important to me.

05:28It's another way too.

05:31I also come to tell them…

05:36I wrote a book that can seem…

05:41Let's talk about Rwanda.

05:43And very often, Rwanda is associated with genocide.

05:46We have the impression that we come like Cassandra,

05:49to announce bad news.

05:51But it's more a book about life.

05:53In fact, in reality, because the subtitle of this book is called L'Etre Absent.

05:58I speak to people who are no longer with us,

06:01but who are still with us in the spirit,

06:04to bring them back to life.

06:08And literature offers these miraculous, symbolic weapons,

06:14which allow us to understand how sacred life is,

06:19and the beauty of life itself.

06:21So, what I come to share with them is a hymn of life.

06:25Thank you very much, in any case, Dorsi Rogomba, for this life lesson.

06:29Thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

06:31And thank you for being an author, actor and director in Rwanda.

06:35And that you are in Marrakech,

06:36as part of the Festival du Livre Africain dans la Vilogue.

06:39Thank you again.

06:41And thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.

06:44Stay with us.
