into the unique, prodigious and complex life of Furcy, even if it means re-establishing facts and breaking down a few preconceptions: he was in fact not a militant abolitionist, and would end up with his own slaves, living the rest of his life in relative opulence.<br>It also aims to place the strange story of Furcy in the context of the respective colonial societies of Bourbon Island and Mauritius and to put the spotlight on Furcy himself, correcting history\u2019s often misconceived representations of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls

through the work of historian Hubert Gerbeau in 1990, but it wasn\u2019t until Sophie Bazin and Johary Ravaloson (alias Arius and Mary Batiskaf) created Libert\u00e9 Plastik back in 1998 that Furcy became a symbol of the fight for freedom.<br>The publication of Mohammed A\u00efssaoui\u2019s book, L\u2019affaire de l\u2019esclave Furcy, (Prix Renaudot 2010), is another element to be taken into account to understand the appearance in the 2000s of the collective movement Lib\u00e8r nout\u2019 Furcy, (Free Our Furcy) and the emergence of various creations by artists from here and abroad: Hassane Kouyat\u00e9\u2019s play L\u2019affaire de l\u2019esclave Furcy, Fer6 by Francky Lauret and Erick Isana, the draft of an animated film by Laurent M\u00e9d\u00e9a, the song L\u2019or de Furcy by musician Kaf Malbar, or the sculpture by Marco Ah Kiem at the Barachois in Saint-Denis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p
