This podcast was recorded alongside the [Preparation of a naked soil strip, Inauguration of a naked soil strip|preparation of a naked soil strip] at the end of August 2020 as part in the performance festival [https://www.setufestival.com/ SETU] held in the village de Ergué-Gabéric, in the french Cornwalls. | |||
This episode gathers two illuminating conversations with local figures of the “country of Mélénig” — a country considered by its inhabitants to be part of the country of Brittany and independant to France. | |||
You’ll meet first with cider producer Christian Toullec, who gave us a tour of his farm, the Cidrerie Mélénig, and who very kindly agreed to discuss with us his attempts to encourage biodiversity on his land. | |||
In a second part, you will be able to listen to Yuna Postic, who is a dancer, teacher and representative of the <i>Cercle Ar Vro Mélénig</i>, the traditional dance group of the village of Élliant (village adjoining the Cidrerie Mélénig and SETU festival), and shared with us her passion for the history of traditional dances native from her region and their use in agriculture in Brittany. | |||
This podcast is published in its original version: french. We've however published a translated transcript of it, available down below. | |||

: This summer, we answered to the invitation of the SETU performance art festival which was held like every year in Brittany, in the village of Ergué-Gabéric about twenty kilometers, inland, from the city of Quimper. It is in this particular context that we’ve prepareed and inaugurated a strip of naked soil with a dance. As you will hear throughout this episode, the Brittany of the Bretons<ref>The residents of Brittany</ref>, is not only a region of France but a country within the country, divided into smaller countries with their own distinct customs and traditions. To that end, our strip of of naked soil was not only dug and inaugurated in Brittany but in the Mélénig country, from which we’ve met several of its representatives, who led us to enrich our project in order for it to better reflect the local culture. <br> | : This summer, we answered to the invitation of the SETU performance art festival which was held like every year in Brittany, in the village of Ergué-Gabéric about twenty kilometers, inland, from the city of Quimper.
