A cultural center of the house of knowledge of Saint-Laurent-de-Neste embodies essential values such as diversity, celebrating different cultures and traditions, inclusion and education.
Thursday January 23 at 8:30 p.m., the Maison du Savoir in Saint-Laurent-de-Neste will host an exceptional event: the screening of the documentary film entitled “Bergers d’Aure: Transhumance in heritage”. This film, lasting 60 minutes, plunges us into the heart of an ancestral practice which is the wealth of the Pyrenees. In the presence of director Bernard Lataste and passionate shepherds, this evening promises to be both informative and moving.
Transhumance, which consists of moving herds between summer and winter pastures, is much more than a simple agricultural activity. It is a true way of life, anchored in local culture and passed down from generation to generation. In this documentary, we will follow the journey of an uncle and his nephew, two shepherds who embody this living tradition. Their relationship, imbued with wisdom and humanity, perfectly illustrates the importance of transmitting know-how and the values that accompany it.
From the Aure Valley to the high summer pastures of Rioumajou, the film highlights the challenges and joys of pastoral life. The majestic landscapes of the Pyrenees serve as a backdrop to this touching story, where nature and man coexist in harmony. Spectators will have the opportunity to discover grazing techniques, transhumance rituals, as well as the unwavering bonds that unite these men to their land.
This event is a great opportunity to come together around a theme that reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. The Maison du Savoir, as a space for sharing and exchange, looks forward to welcoming all those who wish to learn more about this unique practice.
-Admission is free, allowing everyone to participate in this celebration of pastoral culture. Whether you are passionate about nature, mountain culture or simply curious, this screening is for you. Don’t miss this chance to meet people involved in transhumance and talk with them about their daily lives and their passion. Free entry.
