An experimental sound-visual story about our wounded planet, from a multispecies and ecofeminist point of view. This story is told by the choir of the Earthbounds: the daughters and sons of Gaia, Pachamama, Mother Earth. The masculine God of the sky had killed all the feminine Goddesses and with them the respect for earth, animals, women and the delicate cycle of life and death. “It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.” (Donna Haraway) The video is made from a live performance: a sound work composed of field recordings and synthesizers, interpreted with projections (VJ) of original animations and recycled videos.

I am afraid of the future. Every day there are fewer trees, fewer wild animals. Glaciers are melting on us from above, the forests are burning. “It matters which stories tell stories,” says Donna Haraway. We urgently need to change the stories we tell in order to envision a future for our own and future generations.
Even if we now live in a secularized society, the myths on which our culture is based continue to have a great influence. The masculine God of the sky had killed all the feminine goddesses and with them respect for the earth, women, animals and the delicate cycle of life and death. We are in times of massive exploitation, extinction, extermination, which threaten the continuity of life on the planet.
I am trying to listen to the voices of the silent, to see the point of view of non-human beings who, due to lack of language and anthropocentrism, are being considered soulless machines by the human species.
Weaving field recordings with videos and animations into a live experimental sound-visual narrative, I am provoking a kind of modern shamanic ritual. Through it I'm trying to see the past, the present and the future, as the ancient witches saw in the smoke of the sacred fire, in search of new ways to live, love and die on our wounded planet.
