“Surya, Sheela, Salomé. On Mauritius, three women experience a key moment in their quest for freedom. Have they ever crossed paths? They could be each other’s mother, sister, or the friend. In this story in three scenes, Davina Ittoo delivers these voices of women who echo those who preceded them or who surround them. They are inhabited by the island and carried by their thirst for spirituality.” (Presentation of Project’îles editions)
