I have a wound
A wound is what I got
Deep within the fabric of my cells
Deep down
Carving a hole
Across layers of geological flesh
Scars
To mother earth

Not only the planet earth, its soil and nature carry the wounds of mass destruction across centuries of wars and colonisation, but our human soul also carries them. They become a wound to humanness, a genetic imprint across cultures and geographies. WOUND is a dance ritual that addresses grieving communities and collective mourning, towards the path of healing and reconciliation; to reconcile with the past, recognise the present, and construct a future via the human bonding and the bonding with nature, water and human body/soil.
