In the depots of the Musée de l'Homme in Paris, between African masks and sculptures and the tranquil landscapes of Martinique, excerpts from the play ET LES CHIENS SE TAISAIENT by Aimé Césaire are brought to life. The rebel recites a heartbreaking poem to his mother, an outcry against slavery. AIMÉ CÉSAIRE, UN HOMME UNE TERRE paints a portrait of the poet, politician and co-founder of the Négritude movement, who was deeply rooted in his native Martinique. In a long interview with Sarah Maldoror, Césaire talks about the north of the island, his relationship with poetry - particularly Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (Back to the Land of Birth) and La Tragédie du roi Christophe - and the issue of uprooting. He also strongly denounces the colonial status of Martinique.
