One.Two.Three

“A specter is haunting the world : the Situationist International.” One.Two.Three revisits a part of the history of this revolutionary movement that has to date been ignored: the contribution of Congolese. Used as an labyrinthine space for the rendition of a protest song that the Congolese situationist M’Belolo Ya M’Piku composed in may '68, the mythical « Un.Deux.Trois » rumba club in Kinshasa becomes an echo chamber for the impasses of history.
