DE BRUJAS Y FANTASMAS by Kianí del Valle with Ziúr
Curated by Ziúr
Dancer and performer Kianí del Valle brings us the performance DE BRUJAS Y FANTASMAS, scored by experimental composer Ziúr. The captivating piece (whose title translates to Of Witches and Ghosts) delves into the rich and complex tapestry of the witch figure in Latin American culture, here explored as a transcendental entity. The work invokes the ghost of La Llorona—a spectral fictional character—as an echo of pain and healing, and it pays tribute to the iconic Mexican witch María Sabina, known for her wisdom with hallucinogenic mushrooms and her guidance in rituals of spirituality. The performance is an immersion in mysticism, where the witch is rediscovered as a guardian of ancient knowledge, as an invitation to contemplate the latent power in female figures marginalized by history.
