Sensory Overload

Sitting on the bus after a long day, the mother drifts away from reality in her existential experiences. Images of hair braided in dreadlocks, a ritual mask drowning in the sunlight, and a smoking cigarette become companions on her journey through the labyrinths of mind. Sensory Overload blurs the concepts of space, time, and form with the help of Natacha Muzira’s poem about the liberating power of imagination, voiced off-screen. In Rwanda, a country with a developed oral culture, it is the word that becomes the catalyst for unlocking the potential of cinematic tropes.
