These are the dancing bodies in an agitated rapture: prelude to trance, invocation of the gods, consecration of intermittence. Here our point of view sparkles under the spell and trance of things gathered, fallen, yielding, pluvial, Mesoamerican wind, goddess breath, breeze of sticks, percussive woods. Here the audiovisual diagram that guides us, the kinetic breath that inspires us, the serpentine spear that snatches us away, the agitated plumes that tremble at us are the sound and rumble of Teponaztli, a Mesoamerican percussive instrument: serpentine, dancing, bouncing sticks, trunks, branches, and wood. Kinetic and audiovisual serialism from the embers of the Earth. This is the Earth in a trance. Music by Gustavo Nandayapa and Ramiro R. Duarte. Text by Colectivo Los Ingrávidos.
