Zoartoïst

Catherine Gil Alcala

 

Zoo zoar arto artaud autistic artist taoist Zoroaster

pipe dream… portmanteau words…

entrenchment and at the same time fragmentation of sounds and senses…

Heard in a dream, a name that contains the innumerable names of a primordial being …

the thousand pieces of a persecuted child…

the thousand fragments of his image scatter in the mirrors of the universe…

to reflect the stories of natural disasters…

the primordial nature revolts, cyclones, earthquakes, cataclysms …

like the broken mirror of folly …

The scattering of butterflies souls of a dissociated being …

A myth of deaths and rebirths…

« The mythological world appears in the open wound of trauma… »

The dream’s theater images metamorphosed into musical, percussive writing,

hallucinated chattering teeth…

Catharsis of body and language’s trance

Reinvention of an archaic and new theater …

Metamorphosis as fragments of mythologies from all over the world

at the confluence of intimacy and immensity

The dreamlike process of a mythology both personal and universal.
