Eine Person in blauer Kleidung sitzt auf einer dunklen Bühne an einem Tisch mit elektronischer Ausrüstung und hält ein Saiteninstrument. Rechts wird auf einer großen Leinwand ein Video projiziert, das zwei Menschen auf einem Motorrad in einer städtischen Umgebung zeigt. Die Szene ist schwach beleuchtet, der Fokus liegt auf der Projektion und der Person auf der Bühne.

›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.
