TUTUGURI is a tribute to the poet Antonin Artaud and to his text Tutuguri, the dark sun ritual, dedicated to the Peyote ritual of the Tarahumara, a group of indigenous people of the Americas. Based on the dissociation between the voice and the body, this solo becomes a hallucinatory “sound dance”. A woman-medium becomes a live repository, welcoming in her body many voices, beings, identities and stories.
