PERFORMANCE
Σώμα {Greek for ‘body’}
Soil represents the element of earth, which is associated with stability, grounding, foundation, and physical manifestation. A potent source of energy and a repository of ancestral knowledge, that contains the remains and memories of all time.
Water is a symbol of emotion, intuition, and the subconscious mind. It is associated with purification, healing, and spiritual transformation. Its ability to dissolve and carry away impurities is seen as a metaphor for the cleansing of the soul.
In this ritual the protagonist is a mass of Clay. Formed by the mixture of earth and water, this is a sacred material that facilitates spiritual transformation and connects humans to their ancestral traditions. The practitioner transforms their physical appearance, through a ritual act of shaping and molding their face and body, becoming a vessel, a bridge to the Pneuma, a gateway to the Divine.
