For this edition, RAS NININ is invited to celebrate KAYA through his most iconic songs, in a live, sincere reinterpretation carried by the energy of seggae. Presented at the Caudan Arts Centre, RAS NININ FET KAYA aims to create a moment of gathering, memory and vibration — a space where KAYA’s songs are not frozen in the past, but return to the stage as living words, performed, felt and shared again.

The 25 July concert opens a path that continues to 10 August, KAYA’s birthday (KAYA DAY, exhibition at the Caudan Arts Centre). FET KAYA is part of ZILANZIL 2026, KOMKIFO’s cultural-circulation programme between Réunion and Mauritius. Two islands, one shared memory, a seggae that crosses the ocean.

This talk takes you on a journey down Rivière Jacotet to explore how a river’s physical shape dictates the wildlife living within it. Starting in the cool, shaded mountain headwaters, we will meet leaf-shredding invertebrates thriving under the forest canopy. Along the way, we will encounter “collectors” – tiny filter-feeding insects that act as the river’s vacuum cleaners by straining organic particles from the current.

 

As the river widens into the sunny foothills, light reaches the riverbed helping the growth of algae that feeds gobies and freshwater snails. Finally, where the river meets the sea, we will discover how the brackish estuary acts as a bustling nursery for young marine fish.

 

Through this journey from ridge to reef, discover why protecting the entire river system is essential to safeguarding Mauritius’ unique biodiversity and the health of its coral reefs.

Nous sommes tous gardiens de la nature. C’est dans cet esprit qu’Eco-Sud invite le public  à prendre part à un procès fictif, une expérience participative et immersive au cœur d’une affaire simulée où différents acteurs — citoyen·ne·s, ONG, institutions, entreprises et juges — seront amenés à défendre leurs points de vue face à un cas de préjudice causé à la nature.

 

Le public ne sera pas seulement spectateur : il sera invité à participer à l’exercice, à réfléchir aux arguments présentés et à explorer les tensions entre développement, justice et protection du vivant. Ce jeu de rôle se veut à la fois pédagogique, interactif et accessible, afin de mieux comprendre comment les enjeux environnementaux peuvent être portés dans l’espace juridique et public.

 

À l’issue du procès fictif, une discussion ouverte permettra d’échanger sur les mécanismes juridiques actuels et émergents pour la protection de la nature, notamment les évolutions autour des droits de la nature, de la justice environnementale et des voies de recours possibles face aux atteintes aux écosystèmes.
