The Sound of the Masks
The Mapiko dance, the masked art form that challenged the 1960's colonial regime. Atanásio Nyusi, a specialist within this art, avoided fighting in the civil war through its use. Atanásio leads us through the history of Mozambique and his life story. In the archive footage, we see flashes of Mozambique's colonial past and struggle for independence intertwined within the story of the dance.
