Drawing inspiration from Angolan Kuduro, Dominican Gagá and Dembow, and Yanvalou voodoo rhythm, Inès Sybille Vooduness and Malvin Montero invent a unique, fascinating and shifting place, a spiritual cosmogony, drawing on technologies, Haitian syncretism and memories rooted in the Afro-diasporic space.
On the way to the Saut d'Eau waterfall, a holy site in Haiti, the hybrid bodies are multiplying, the states of consciousness are shifting… They integrate the frictions and contradictions that make up the Afro-Caribbean diasporic body, opening up spaces for healing...
