Overview

The Mauritian Sega, the most widespread and enthusiastic performing art on the island, is both a music and dance that emanates liveliness and pure joy. The emblematic Sega is performed everywhere- on the beach, during family events, or even formal parties; in private or in public.

The Mauritian Sega is sung with increasing rhythm, and this lures dancers to move their body along with the musical percussion. The Sega dance is a simple bodily movement whereby the feet are slided without being lifted at any time. The reason behind is that it was originally performed on sandy beaches, which prevented complex dance steps.

More than just a performing art, the Mauritian Sega is also a means to express sorrows and miseries, along with an urge to overcome them. Additionally, it is an assertion of an individual’s will to be joyful and full of life. The villagers’ nostalgic heritage depicts the sorrows and delights of fishermen and peasants.
