When Awadi visited Moroni, she was unable to
find witnesses or participants of this tradition.
She decided to redo the walk the women did,
wandering at night and initiating a dialogue in
order to summon and gather diverse voices,
including that of the anthropologist and the
ghosts of the Debe singers, the man who
interrogates, the heir and L’être-au-monde
(being-world). As the artist has said: ‘To fill
in the holes in our memories by speculating
sensitive fictions of what has been, and what
could still happen. To rekindle bonfires and hot
beds of sensual resistance around which we
sometimes gather.’
