Genesis

The breathtakingly beautiful desert plains of Mali provide the setting for this unusual African epic, a deeply poetic rendering of the story of Jacob and Esau. The dense, unusual narrative combines the drama and gravity of Greek theater with the liveliness of African storytelling, making Genesis both a gripping retelling of Biblical events and a profound parable for the fratricidal strife that has ravaged so many parts of the world. Starring the great African stage actor Sotigui Kouyate as Jacob and the world-famous Malian singer Salif Keita as his brother Esau.
