In the middle of the Pacific, on the islands of Vanuatu, people like an animal… Sacred stones honorits memory, drums announce its presence, dances, singings celebrate its value, it embodies the wealth, it is in the center of the traditions. For centuries, the natives of Vanuatu venerate it.
Rejected in numerous countries, the pig became here a pet but also an animal totem. Its value make it also an animal of sacrifice. It is in the center of ancestral rites.
