Overview
Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse, who survived the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda as a teenager, offers a valuable reflection on the responsibility of memory and the crucial place that the testimony of survivors must hold within it.
On 18 June 1994, a few weeks before the end of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse was saved thanks to a humanitarian convoy. Long after these events, settled in France, she contacted the BBC team that had filmed her rescue.
She sought to trace some record of this unprecedented moment. A relentless investigation then began, to reconstruct the events with witnesses scattered across the world: the other child survivors, the humanitarian workers and the journalists.
The account of this fifteen-year quest was published in January 2024 and met with great critical acclaim. Today, it is on stage that she lets this story, and the testimonies gathered during and after the writing of the book, be heard and seen.
