›Mali Futur Live‹ is a real-time, remote performance: On stage, a griot musician plays the kora and a sampler, scoring in real time a film which is being shot live in Bamako. We follow the Malian actors Diarrah Dembélé and Kassim Dagnogo as they travel through the Malian capital on foot or by motorbike, filmed by Alfousseny and Souleymane Konaté. They are filming a live sequence shot, between documentary and science fiction. Permeable clay soils, medicinal plants, resilient solutions and solidarities coexist with fuel shortages, Chinese interference and an unstable democracy… What if the future already existed elsewhere? An exhilarating musical road trip, in search of possible futures.
