"The four seasons of the mullet

The mule, born from the union of a donkey and a mare, was the indispensable auxiliary of Valais peasant life at a time when only the strength of one's arms could do the work in the fields, without any motor yet.

Striking images! Now virtually extinct, the mule takes pride of place in this ciné-concert - cinema as it was in the old days, when the silent film projection is accompanied live by musicians.

This film, from the archives of the Médiathèque Valais in Martigny, is taken from the one shot in Savièse in 1970 by René-Pierre Bille. It retraces the 4 seasons of peasant life and the gestures of a bygone era.

This promotion of the Valaisan audio-visual heritage is one of the vocations of the "Orgues, Musiques et Cimes" Festival, in addition to its musical training workshops.

In collaboration with the Médiathèque Valais, "Les quatre saisons du mulet" will be the 6th film to be shown to the general public.
