Guewel

  • Film
  • Music

Seven years in the making, Guewel is a multi-art form work from director Lamine Sonko, who has journeyed to the remote and sacred places of Senegal to understand how ancient cosmology and metaphysical knowledge shape our ways of being in the world.

In a landmark collaboration with the National Theatre of Senegal, Guewel channels deep ancestral power through primordial sounds worlds and sacred rhythmic dance, offering a reflection on our interconnected, collective human experience.

Blending traditional and contemporary music, dance, projection animation and filmed cultural landscapes, Guewel brings together ancient and new art forms in a vibrant meeting of worlds, bridging cultural and temporal divides.
