Amanda Piña's The Jaguar and the Snake is part of the third volume of Endangered Human Movements, a long term project dedicated to dances and cultural practices that have already vanished or are threatened with extinction.
The Jaguar and the Snake is inspired by the manifold beings populating Amerindian cultures' oral and visual traditions. Based on an in-depth iconographic research Amanda Piña, Lina Maria Venegas and Yoan Sorin work on embodying beings where the animal, the human and the vegetal meet fuse and transform.
The performance explores how these concepts are understood in Amerindian terms creating a visionary world between ancestral indigenous knowledge and contemporary performance art.
What are other forms of relationships possible between animals, humans and plants?
