Pulsión (Drive) (Ancestors 2023 - 03/2023)
We take the life impulses that reflect in our body the exit to another state of things.
Our deep interior moves us to suppress tension, to connect with our senses, we perceive it, our ancestral, musical sounds... beats to shed our skin.
Introspection.
The heartbeats of the center of our body that take us to a state of rest, calm and unity.
Ritual
We beat patches, sing and dance in a spiral circle.
The pleasure principle keeps us in constant movement looking for the explosion... and then the stillness, we no longer have the need.
Drive of life.
Sublimation.
The search (Ancestors II - 3/2022)
At the beginning we walk a diverse path, vegetal, humid and misty.
We stop and look into each other's eyes.
We return to greenery and water, to our origins to the rites of the sacred land, source of life.
We walk together in a labyrinth, the trees cover us, the sun covers us.
Earth, water and sky. Infinity of our being.
The spiral of our consciousness.
Past, present and future.
world and underworld.
Birth, life and death.
Body, mind and soul.
Trees, source of life and shelter.
Triquettes between the forces of nature to give rise to life and wisdom.
Trees as a link between the real world and the world of our ancestors. Thus, the trees seen as a gateway to this new world.
Trees of life.
Daur, in Celtic: oak, is the root of the word door.
