ODA AL MAL PARIDX is a solo performance that attempts to portray the power of transformations; testimonies of waterdrops becoming rock through time. Inspired by the poetic encounter of stalagmites-stalactites and their ability to hold ancient structures: caves: the first human homes. Anllel researches the possibilities of reproduction of this alchemic technology in grieving and remembering- If water can become a holder, why then can’t grief become a mentor?
This live installation is moved by the notions of in-betweens, ritual, ancestral wisdom and rebirth.
ODA AL MAL PARIDX proposes to take you on a trance state journey through the repetition of water dropping, shadows and guttural voice work by activating a deep space of contemplation.

In this cave lives every memory of my grandmother’s sorrow solidified by the passing of time I offer my chants and my chest to be carved as path knowing the only way is through.
