Interpretation

Lucie - pre-historic, the original beautiful primitive woman: Africa is the cradle of humanity, Africa is also the cradle of civilization.

"Lucie", look around, look at the large circle! The bears with their various habits and customs, religions and beliefs, letters and symbols, colours and adornments, this is cultural diversity.

The one thing they have in common is their emotion. Emotion turns into ecstasy and finally into trance.
