De Cara al cielo trailer Videodanza from Imagen en Movimiento on Vimeo.

De Cara al Cielo (Dixon Quitian y Soraya Vargas. Colombia.) 7:23 min.

A man, who is the same man from the beginning,

knows what the “earth” wants, he knows that it is our home,

our last place,

that we are nothing without the womb of the earth and the dust we are formed by,

earth’s nature is the creation,

its movement is a dance that germinates,

the mother who welcomes us and comforts us.

Earth is all women who populate our table fruits.

The earth is also the battlefield, where the bodies are found.

The space where the movement is.
