MURASAKI

Multidisciplinary solo work, in which circus techniques, butoh dance, audiovisual projection, video-art and photography are articulated with a Japanese-inspired aesthetic.

.

Murasaki, a Japanese word that means violet and Cattleya, a species of orchid typical of Colombia, are the protagonists of this creation. The work goes through the dream of orchids, where Murasaki is born, a purple and reddish cattleya that lives a whole cycle from birth to death during the 4 seasons of the year, mutating from one essence to another in its development.

.

Murasaki is a woman, demonizes, goddess, flower, crane, snow. They are the irrefutable phases of life and death of nature. It is cyclical, ancestral, in it the parameters of ordinary rationality and logic do not govern, it does not respect aesthetics or definition; she is contradiction.

.

Murasaki is a dreamlike and floral journey into the depths of the collective unconscious from where the archetypes of the feminine, life, death and their metaphorical expression emerge through the ephemeral life of flowers. It is also a symbol of what lies beyond cycles. It is the transition from form to essence, the liberation from the wheel of Samsara.
