“How can one grasp the full dimension of an event that wiped out more than a million people, in which the death of my brother […] is almost an anecdote, one case among a million others \u2013 a fraction whose mathematical value is close to zero?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirty-one years have passed since the genocide in Rwanda, but the book Hewa Rwanda by Rwandan actor and director Dorcy Rugamba, published in 2024, stands today as one of the most authentic accounts for understanding the events. In this moving musical reading, Dorcy Rugamba describes the life of his family, which was wiped out on the morning of 7 April 1994, and his life afterwards. Hewa Rwanda is a story of rare power about family, culture and spirituality \u2013 and an antidote to the “impulses of death” that continue to dominate our times.<\/p>\n
