Ceremony

Ceremony — Plot

This work, created in collaboration with Manongo Mujica, seeks to recapture the sound of Paracas, not only as a landscape and atmosphere, but also by rescuing the music of its inhabitants. The use of the gong, an ancient Eastern percussion instrument, blends with the sounds of the waves on the Paracas shore, generating a ritualistic act of connection with the forces of nature—seen as deities by the ancient Peruvians.
