Tribal
Animals will bring a collection of spiritual and wild stories from
across geographies of the animal world.
At
Hindu temples in Bali, the monkey dance symbolizes the epic victory
of Hanuman, the monkey god, a kind and brave divinity whose exploits
are recounted in the Ramayana. The Jaquar plays an important role
in Indian mythology.
For
the Matis, solitary hunters in India, the jaguar is not an animal,
but a master of all the elements, symbolising life, death, and the
underworld. In Africa, north of Timbuktu, the Tuareg nomads consider
the elephant as a messenger of happiness, as he predicts the rains.
Tribal Animals follows unique species which have always fascinated
mankind for ages.
This
programme examines why the big cat, the elephant and the monkey
have always had two totally different faces. Feared and mistrusted
in the occidental world, they can be deified and worshipped in the
Orient. Gods or demons, sometimes half human creatures, their mystery
is at the very roots of our beliefs.
Big
Cats, Elephants and Apes are the three episodes to be aired consecutively
over every Sunday at 7pm.
