Akelarre

A re-interpreation of a Canarian legend of women in Anaga who would perform rites and give offerings to the spirits and goddesses of the land. They would sing, dance, tell stories under a dark moon and end by swimming naked in the blue sea. The female body, otherness, witchcraft, critical thinking and individual freedom has always scared the patriarchy, religious institutions and now capitalism. I wanted to embrace the wildness of being outside of the norm, outside of the margins of society and what has been considered acceptable, as well as creating a story close to my roots and home.
