OPERA DI MUXARO: Ballante dell’Africana Errante

“Opera di Muxaro: Ballata dell’Africana Errante” (Ballad of the Wandering African) is a new short film by British-Nigerian artist Zina Saro-Wiwa shot entirely in Sant’Angelo di Muxaro in the Agrigento region of Sicily. The film, which was conceived, shot and edited in two weeks is about existing in peace during war and existence as war during peace time. The film is about the cognitive and emotional dissonance of surviving societal collapse but finding yourself in an almost problematically beautiful place that suggests sanctuary and maybe even the afterlife.
