Volcanic 2024 | Bio-mysticism and the perception of ecstasy. From Toloache (Datura)

The Centro Cultural de España en México presents VOLCÁNICA, a series of expanded animation projects that emphasize the relationships that animated cinema establishes with other areas of discourse other than narrative/cinematographic ones.

Bio-mystique and the perception of ecstasy: From Toloache (Datura), an audiovisual piece that explores an abstract narrative of biological processes and their mysteries. From a human perspective, a link is established with beings beyond the human, cohabiting a territory where tangible and intangible connections converge. Vibrations and energies of life occur simultaneously that build processes and cycles linked to a form of biological sacredness.

But what endures in the Anthropocene history of this communication between species? In this context, sound, as one of the primary sources of perceptual development, essentially shares the intangible and establishes a powerful link with our senses. Pleasure becomes, then, one of the pillars through which our species understands itself, as well as other types of languages and forms of existence. It is an exploration of the ecstasy that arises from interspecies communication.

For this second session, Bio-mysticism and the perception of ecstasy are presented. From Toloache (Datura) with the participation of: Albania Juárez, Elena Pardo, Sofía Escamilla and Anahy Cabrera.

Registration closes May 17.
