“Lengé, a Baka Pigmy, can tell the tales of the beginning of the world and sing the songs of Tibola, the white elephant… He has seen the bird Fofolo chase the sun’s rays… There was just enough film left for a single shot. Four minutes for the face and the voice, which recall, from time immemorial, Gbanga Tita, God’s calabash. There was the river, the forest and the children” (Thierry Knauff).
