Born of a Breton father and a mother who lived through the fall of the Soviet Union, Adrian Herpe is a young pianist trained in the Ukrainian school. To hope one day to perform in prestigious concert halls, he will have to take a step to the West and join the benches of a European conservatory. His family, strangers to classical music, accompanies him from east to west on the road to success.

Le prélude d'Adrian

Amani is 31. When he was an infant, he survived the genocide against Rwanda’s Tutsi population. Three decades later, Amani has set up an organisation in Nyamirambo, one of the more economically impoverished districts of the country’s capital, Kigali. It employs creativity, artistic practice and performance to grapple with poverty and generational trauma – acknowledging that deep-seated ideologies can easily foment prejudice and create an environment that proved so catastrophic in the past.
