Bestial

A stage show of collective creation, a dreamlike and symbolic ritual based on the poetry collection 'Bestial' by the Colombian writer Lilián Pallares, where poetry, trditional storytelling, dance, visuales and percussion intertwine. The work is framed in the myth of Lilith, the first woman created by God, before Eve.

A mystical and sensual atmosphere in an African context.

The seed woman

At night, as the story goes, she emerges to wander the countryside. From her maracas sprout rivers of fresh water and in her hips the diabolic beat of a drum.Bravely she steps with evasive eyes, her skin caked in wet sand.
To the top of the hill she climbs, naked, singing the song the wind whispers to her, and when the moon unfolds its large white dress, she caresses her fertile belly until the sun hides her again in the depths of the earth.

  — Poem by Lilián Pallares from her collection Bestial. Translation of 'La mujer semilla' by Charles Olsen
