Based on a real event that took place in a sacred location between Mongolia, Siberia, and China, where a rare gathering of shamans occurred in late summer 2019.

The project focuses on the choreographic expression of trance within shamanic movement. Can the dance of the supernatural be digitized? Can fragments of trance be transformed into a sensory experience? How can the body transcend its physical boundaries?
