2109 Coletivo LOA, NKISI 11 set

Four elementary entities, receptacles of cosmic forces, test the limits of the body in a desire to transfigure matter. They explore the possibilities of transcendence through magical activation of the performance space, in a laboratory of ritual initiation into the mysteries of the invisible. Guided by robotic sound devices and changes in lighting, these entities challenge our perception of reality. Accompanying the performance, an installation has been developed that proposes a holographic confrontation with a nkisi nkondi - a power figure that has supernatural forces. This installation proposal establishes a phantasmagoric relationship between the spectator and the museum object, that comes to life and haunts the relations of colonial domination to which it has been subjected, revealing and restoring its magical capacity.
