Sufi­essence_Sufi travel
Body, trunk and soundscape. Searching for purity in contamination through the sound of the body and the trunk of an old tree. Two beings composed by the history, a result of diverse cultures.
Instruments which can produce the purest and most abstract form of the vital and original sounds. As the Gypsies or the Sufis which along their journeys have been absorbing from all cultures.
Wield the old dream of redirecting a world, torn by contrary forces, to the unity.

The will to live comes from the desire enrolled in each empty space, as a sounding board that amplifies the essential sounds creating resonances from within.

The pain shares habitat with joy, and the ritual sacrifice is not a resignation, but a friction in which life is condensed.
