PROJECTING THE VALUES OF COLLECTIVE DYNAMICS

The opening display of this year’s university games dubbed ‘lets make it together’ the first of its kind, was a euphoric and unique moment in the history of the university games. Breaking away from the traditional parade, the University of Dschang decided to offer a spectacle, grounded on the general theme of the University games “The collective dynamics games”. This spectacle involved 111 performers, 20 mannequins, 10 dancers and 14 musicians based on two plots. The first plot was based on a football match, followed by a celebration where two opposing teams celebrated a goal scored by one of the teams, as a sign of fairplay. The goal celebration continued with the formation of four circles, symbolizing the 4 socio-cultural zones of Cameroon, which later on merged to symbolize unity in diversity. The second plot was made up of a tree, bearing fruits and messages projecting production, perfection, harmony and peace. The poetic image of the tree embodied by 4 lyricists introduces the beauty of the rainbow of togetherness. The vases of different coloured liquids emptied by the various authorities of the eight state universities show the close knit. This spectacle ends with a call for harmony and unity of the Cameroonian people through the sounding of a double gong, a grass field instrument. This is a peculiar display, one to be remembered for a long time.
