Tram 83 is a bar-eatery-brothel in Congo, in a city known as 'the Hinterland'. It is crowded and dirty, the only tent that is open day and night. For most of its visitors, life is a matter of survival. Two regulars at Tram 83 are Requiem and Lucien, who studied together and share an apartment. Requiem has a past full of fights in the jungle and now takes provocative photos of wealthy tourists to blackmail them. Lucien was a history teacher and fled for political reasons from 'the Hinterland'. He writes a play and tries to find a publisher for it, while Requiem throws all possible obstacles in his way.
The rhythmic, sensual, and visual language in Tram 83 reflects the chaotic commotion in the bar. With its powerful, sometimes playful and then grim style, Mujila makes the feelings of disorientation, anger, and sorrow palpable of a Congolese population that has few illusions but is endowed with a persistent vitality.
The bar-eatery-brothel, Tram 83, is located in a city in Congo known as 'the Hinterland'. It is a crowded and dirty establishment, the only one that remains open day and night. For most of its patrons, life is a constant struggle for survival. Two regular customers at Tram 83 are Requiem and Lucien, who were once classmates and now share an apartment. Requiem has a past filled with battles in the jungle and now engages in taking provocative photographs of wealthy tourists, which he then uses to blackmail them. Lucien, on the other hand, was a history teacher who fled 'the Hinterland' for political reasons. He is currently writing a play and attempting to find a publisher for it, while Requiem persistently places obstacles in his path.
The language used in Tram 83 is rhythmic, sensual, and visually evocative, reflecting the chaotic atmosphere of the bar. Mujila's powerful, at times playful and at other times grim, writing style effectively conveys the feelings of disorientation, anger, and sorrow experienced by the Congolese population, who have few illusions but possess a remarkable resilience and vitality.
