Music

Ancestral Memory covers various topics such as healing, transformation, love and heartbreak, mourning and celebration, death and rebirth, going through every moment that is part of this great spiral of life.

Ancestral memory is about returning to our origin, to our purest essence, which no one or nothing can teach us. It is something that we already know and have carried within us since we were stardust.

Ancestral memory is remembering who we are and why we are here, it is the permission to fail, grow, hurt, love, forgive, feel pleasure, and gracefully navigate this human experience. And if by chance we have forgotten the memory that we carry inside, hopefully this medicine music will help us to remember.

The play Mamá Cocha is a theater dance that represents Mother Sea and our connection with her as the origin of life. Woman and the first territory of her body as creation.

Stories of the sun and the moon. She is the storyteller who narrates legends of oral tradition.

performing arts

In a closed auditorium we will immerse the participants in each one of the characters and the story, each one in their own way, playing with the imagination a bit like an audiobook.

The work takes place with the public who, through the psyche and blindfolded, are creating the work step by step.

Abstract oil paintings mostly ..... What I see as energy in flux ..... and with an intention to involve the viewer in the illusion of the spatial play implied by each piece .....

The portrait piece refers to an intense dream vision I experienced January 20, 1980 and produced this painting in 2021 .....

The pieces you see represented here are all in process while anticipating completion before the end of January .....

Music

Paloma Ausente is a tribute to the great icon songwriter artist of Latin America Violeta Parra, in which we are going to make a compilation of part of her work, focused on Chilean folklore, in which we can enjoy songs like La jardinera, Maldigo del alto cielo, among others where the composer reflects her constant social struggle, her union with nature, inequality in justice and also themes such as love.
