After stopping off in Rome, the 'World Exploration' tour of the Centre des Arts Pluriels Ettelbruck (CAPE) will be continuing on to South Africa on 10 November 2015 for an audiovisual experience of the 'rainbow nation'.
In the presence of director Pierre Régior, the audience will be able to leave the grey and cold winter of Luxembourg behind and delve into impressive landscapes and architecture and the savannah and vast deserts of South Africa. Pierre Régior will conduct the tour which will see spectators journey from the dry Kalahari desert to the shores of the Indian Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope to Kruger Park, stopping off in lost towns off the beaten track.
The documentary will show the multiple roots out of which South Africa's population has grown, as well as the diversity in its natural habitats, as a country rich in flora and fauna. It was the preservation of this last aspect which first prompted Pierre Régior to create his visual exploration, enhanced by the desire to understand this 'rainbow nation', borne from the Apartheid and the homeland of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
Pierre Régior is a film-maker for whom travel courses through the blood, seeing the process not as an accumulation of stamps in a passport but as the act of diving into the depths of people's lives and their environment. Since an initial discovery of Mexico, Pierre has returned to the country no less than twelve times and continued his travels in Iceland, Alaska, Antarctica, Patagonia, Mongolia and Iran, before his most recent discovery of the nation of South Africa.
The documentary will be shown at 20:00 on Tuesday 10 November 2015 at CAPE, 1 Place Marue Adélaïde, Ettelbruck. The documentary will be in French. Tickets cost €16 at standard rate, €8 for 26 and under, and €1,50 with a Kulturpass. To reserve, contact 2681-2681 or visit www.cape.lu.
