"A MOSSA, nights and days" is a performance created by Jacques Patarossi and adapted for the screen by Jacques Malaterre. This choreographic work, filmed in a Corsican village, is structured around several traditional polyphonic Corsican songs.
Spread over the time-span of a day and a half, the songs tell of every-day life: Love, hatred, vengance, animals, nature, death. The dance, in natural decor, portrays the union between the contempory and the traditional in the heart of Corsica.
