In this episode, Anne-Sylvie will attend two powerful and ritualized times of seduction with young adults in search of a soul mate. The first one will take her to China, in Guizhou, she will then go to meet a young Ethiopian girl, Kawa, who belongs to the Mursi tribe.
The time of seduction, as a preamble to the creation of a couple, is a highly ritualized passage of life, because seduction is a language, a means of communication with the other that is intrinsically cultural: the cues that one emits in this language, verbal or not, must be perceived and understood by their intended recipient. While seduction can occur at any age, it is considered a ritual of passage when it acts as a clear boundary between the solitude of the adult individual, and couple life.
