2. 2. In The Company Of Men

   

   A polyphonic chorus recounts the West African Ebola epidemic, weaving first-person testimonies from caregivers, villagers, survivors, gravediggers, and the dead—alongside the voices of a baobab tree and the virus itself. The narrative explores grief, stigma, and courage while confronting the complexities of aid, burial rites, and the consequences of environmental disruption. Lyrical yet unsparing, it shows how fear isolates and how solidarity, love, and ritual can knit communities back together. Through intimate vignettes, a local catastrophe becomes a mirror of global interconnectedness and responsibility.
