From 23 to 25 July 2024, the University of Mauritius Theatre Lab, co-managed by Yannick Bosquet and Christina Chan-Meetoo, organised the performing arts festival “Anou Mont Lor Lasenn” to celebrate the life of Dev Virahsawmy with Kimberly Oxide. During the three days, we watched “Li”, “Kontign Larout Depi”, “Bouke Larkansiel” and “Fouka Zame Ti Pagla” and it was a resounding success.
Prior to the festival, a number of performing acts workshops were organised in order to introduce the various aspects of performance (e.g. acting, dancing, singing, music making, etc.) to the public. I attended most of the workshops and I felt deeply enriched.
On Saturday 7 September 2024, as one of the workshop attendees (but I was not able to participate in the plays for professional reasons), I received an official certificate. Interestingly, this is the first time in my life I have obtained a certificate from the University of Mauritius where I was a Lecturer in Computer Science a few years ago.
A big thank you to all the organisers, Yannick, Kimberly and Christina of course, but also to Arnaud Carpooran and other UoM senior management.
