Eina La Majayüt
NYC - 2025
An interdisciplinary creation that explores traditional indigenous and contemporary verbal, visual, kinetic, and sonic languages, by combining mythical, historical, cultural and ethnographic elements of Wayuu culture. These are put in dialogue with traditional dances and visionary elements of contemporary dance, live music and lyrics within the video/ sound/sculpture on stage and on screen.
Eina exalts the cosmo-vision and resilience of Indigenous Wayuu people. We want to show how ambition and greed make nature sick and generates suffering in all the beings that inhabit it.
Glyphs in Movement.
An interactive journey through Mayan and Mhuysqa Indigenous Cultures
Through dynamic activities, audiences will explore the vocabulary,numbers and various expressions in native languages, using movement,lyrics and music as the main learning tools. We will approach vocabulary, mythological beings, animals and numbers, reinforcing their the body and interactive games with the projection. With the support of the interactive video, dancers/educators will guide audiences in the combination of dance, live music and an interactive video, allowing audiences to playfully experience the sounds, symbols and movements inspired and generated by the ‘live’ glyphs. Based on the ancestral iconography, movement sequences will be created that relationship between the body, language and nature within the Mhuysqa cosmo-vision.
