The Parable of the Goatherd, a bestiary /mvmnt 1: Agdal** - Reading/listening session
What does a Berber bestiary look like? Can it be a dramaturgical study of the natural history of development? Or an articulation of Indigenous geography of voices and relationships to land, the intricacies between living beings with the world of plants, atmosphere, soil, water, stones and spirits?
The Parable of the Goatherd, a bestiary /mvmnt 1: Agdal** is poetical and material research into Amazigh animalistic tropism and zoopoetics, a return to the side of the animal, through the goatherd as mediator, space-crafter, the living-with-other-species space. We meet a proto-Goatherd, an archetype within the Amazigh imaginary, the goatherd as poet and storyteller, a flute player, a tuner of winds, of communication with the non-human.
This session delves into the archetype of the goatherd within Amazigh culture, exploring themes of communication with nature and the impact of modernity on traditional ways of life. It questions how modern development tames and confines the wild, and whether there's a way to reconnect with the natural world through oral traditions and storytelling.
**Agdal serves as a space for understanding the voices and subjectivities of other species. Agdal, a géographie d’écart, interlace stories, sounds and characters, species, wind whisperer, Humanimal, Animal telepaths, shifters where oral archives, Oraliture can help us to remember how to side with animals, for a poetical program of participation in the World.
